Strategy Execution System: From A To Z

Managing strategy execution should be a permanent part of an executive’s job. This requires a management system. Most organisations have pieces of this system, such as budgeting and goal-setting, but the pieces are isolated and incompatible. Further, most organisations do not have a formal process to translate the strategy, test it, and align the organisation. This session provides a CEO’s guide: What to expect when adopting the Balanced Scorecard system – real world insights into the challenges, timeframes, investment and skills involved in a successful sustainable implementation. Dr Norton will also describe how mature BSC organisations sustain their strategy execution system by embedding it within the organisation’s three to five year strategy cycle.

Strategy Maps, Strategic Themes And The Balanced Scorecard

In this session, Dr Kaplan will describe the latest innovations in strategy mapping. The session will illustrate how external and internal customer metrics need to be selected based on the organisation’s differentiating customer value proposition. Discover how to choose the right strategic objectives and construct a strategy map around four to six themes that link human capital and process objectives to customer and shareholder objectives. While strategy maps provide an overall view of an organisation’s strategy, strategic themes segment the strategy into general categories, allowing organisations to focus actions and provide a structure for accountability. New material will include how to incorporate triple bottom line reporting and sustainability objectives into your strategy map. Dr Kaplan will also demonstrate how to co-create strategy maps with key stakeholders to create the “shared value” described in Michael Porter’s seminal January 2011 Harvard Business Review article.

Strategy Execution: Best Practice Case

Volkswagen do Brasil (VWB) is the second largest Volkswagen operation in the world, with four plants, 22,000 employees, and revenues of more than US$9 billion, enjoying one of the highest profitability rates in the VW group. It wasn’t always this way. In 2006, following years of currency devaluation, a sluggish economy, new sources of competition, and market share loss, VWB undertook a major restructuring and adopted the BSC to mobilise the company. In this interactive session, Dr Kaplan will demonstrate how VWB grew revenue by 80 percent in four years, doubled employee engagement, and improved internal processes through the organisation’s implementation of a sustainable strategy management system.

Setting Meaningful KPIs, Stretch Targets And Selecting And Funding Strategic Initiatives


The discussion of the system continues by showing how to set targets for strategic themes and objectives, the process to select portfolios of strategic initiatives, and the new funding mechanism of strategic expenditures (StratEx). Dr Norton will describe his recent research on the performance breakthroughs that Hall of Fame enterprises have achieved. These provide guidance for setting ambitious quantitative and qualitative targets for key BSC achievement metrics. The role of theme owners and theme teams for managing the implementation of crossfunctional and cross-business projects will be introduced.

Aligning The Organisation To The Strategy

Most enterprises consist of multiple business and functional units. For the full execution premium to be earned, the enterprise must achieve both vertical and horizontal alignment in each unit’s strategic objectives. This session will review how to achieve organisational synergies through a cascaded and linked strategy map, and how to co-create strategy maps with strategic suppliers and customers for shared value creation.

Linking Strategy To Operations

High-level strategic objectives must be driven down into operational processes. Dr Norton will illustrate how to link operational process improvements to strategic objectives, including the role for performance improvement programs (TQM, Six Sigma, Lean); and how to design operational dashboards of KPIs that drive continuous improvement.
