Should strategy be done once and then just heads down until it’s delivered on? Or should it change every month or quarter based on reality?

What are the characteristics of good strategy? What are the factors that influence the ability of the organisation to execute it? Should you share your strategy with your customers?

So many questions, and so little time.  But in today’s episode we give answering these questions and more a good crack.

Enjoy this week’s interview with strategy and execution specialist Jamie Christopherson, Director at Maximus International as we pull apart the development of strategy and the critical factors that influence execution.  Over 18 years he’s helped organisations across the globe develop and execute on transformative strategies that have catapulted their companies to the next level, including some of our previous guests!
