Simple, Not Easy

Most plans fail.

Plans rarely fail because of misguided strategy or a lack of good ideas.  If anything, organizations have a bad habit of putting too many good ideas in their plans.

Most plans fail because of problems related to execution.   Too many non-essential initiatives.  Confusion around roles and responsibilities.  Failure to follow-through.  Lack of accountability.

That’s why my book Lead The Way outlines a simple planning process and a straightforward approach to execution.  The strategic plans that I help organizations develop make it very clear Who will do What by When.

You can download for free a fast, simple, one-page plan that I call a Migration Chart™.  (Under Strategic Planning Resources section)

A simple plan will drive high performance.

So keep your plan simple.  Because execution is not easy.
