Building a strategy is very different than executing one — great execution of an average strategy is far more valuable than average (or poor) execution of a perfect strategy.

In this episode, we spoke with Joe Rafter, Vice President at Capgemini, who shared the key ingredients for a successful business strategy: authentic leadership, tailored action, resilience, and self-awareness. When leaders embrace these traits, they can help any business through the toughest transformations.

Join us as we discuss:

• Tailoring actions based on an understanding of the difference between strategy development and execution
• What authentic leadership looks like and why it’s critical
• Mental toughness, self-awareness, and resilience as necessities for transformation

Business leaders spend months ideating and developing the perfect strategy—but when it comes time to operationalize, companies often back down, tucking the corporate strategy away until the following year.

We’re joined by Candice Williams, Strategy Manager at the Development Bank of Jamaica who dives into her hands-on experience in designing and successfully implementing organizational strategies.

Join us as we discuss:

• The importance and role of strategy, common pitfalls, and how to avoid them
• The vital role of cascading sessions in the cultural integration of strategy
• Ways to monitor results and drive accountability
