The format of the workshop is a fast-paced, interactive presentation with intensive management discussion designed to 1) create an awareness of operational and cultural strategies that, when implemented, can have an immediate impact on business performance outcomes, and 2) develop consensus on specific actions for hardwiring into the organization a culture of accountability and execution.

Following a presentation on each of the 10 Secrets of Execution, a facilitated discussion will drive participants to consensus on critical questions and issues, enabling the creation of a transformation roadmap as the workshop progresses.

At the conclusion of the workshop, the management team will have a firm understanding of the 10 Secrets of Execution, the organization’s current stage of strategic transformation, and an actionable roadmap for beginning the transformation journey. The workshop is designed so that you can move straight into implementation the very next day.
