Visible failure is painful, costly and potentially
catastrophic for the enterprise
Originally scheduled for delivery in 2006, the AIRBUS 380 entry into service was delayed by almost 2 years and was several billiondollars over budget
The NHS IT system is one of the 'worst fiascos ever', say MPs. Latest estimates are £9.8bn (and rising)
$840 million has been spent onHealthCare.gov, including more than $150 million just in cost overruns for the version that failed so badly when it launched last year

Based upon running and reviewing MANY
strategic execution initiatives over the
past two decades…
I believe that over 75% of critical flaws are
created right at the beginning of a major
initiative…
and are essentially INDEPENDENT of the
method or tools used

and repeatable way at the start

Ensuring Clarity of Purpose
2.
Simplify Complexity AND Maintain Alignment

What is
Important?

When the wrong Metrics are used….Catastrophies DO
Occur
NHS waiting list scandal revealed
by JENNY HOPE, Daily Mail
A shocking official report yesterday exposed how NHS waiting lists were massaged to meet Government targets.
It said patients with life-threatening illnesses had their treatment delayed because priority was given to those with minor ailments who had waited longer.
The National Audit Office found a majority of consultants - who have themselves complained of heavy pressure from hospital managers -admitted distorting clinical priorities.
Operations to reverse vasectomies were performed at the expense of patients waiting for bladder tumoursurgery.
Minor ear, nose and throat disorders went ahead of serious breathing troubles.
Patients for hip and knee replacement were treated before those needing urgent surgery to repair artificial joints.
Doctors say it is impossible to know whether this led to avoidable deaths, but it certainly increased the suffering of some patients.

SUCCESSFUL Strategic Executions are Gamechanging
A financial services business wanted to design a new target operating model to transform its financial performance. An effectively engaged team designed and delivered the program to plan that outsourced commodity business processes, sold non-core business units, and transformed people, process and technology to support core operations and created new capabilities
A utility company underwent a high-risk and extremely complex transformation of process, systems and people to radically change their operating model to meet competitive pressures. Acceleration of over 4 weeks in the first 6 months of the program through effective engagement of the joint team of vendors, client staff and consultants resulted in operating cost reductions of over $100M
A global oil company merger resulting in a $100B combined entity and significantly enhancing shareholder value over 12 months
The merger of two European Investment Banks created the largest Investment Firm in the world and an effective integration of all aspects of the business ranging from marketing collateral to supporting systems, processes and organization resulting in accelerated delivery of the merged entity ahead of analyst expectations
