  11. 11. © 2014 Cognizant Complex Change is inherently COMPLEX! Why is StratExDifficult?
  12. 12. © 2014 Cognizant (Some of) The Reasons Why Strategic Execution Fails Include the Following: • Effort is applied to unimportant areas • Staff Rotation • Being overtaken by another priority • It’s Too Complex • Breaking down the problem into silos • Fear of telling the truth (no matter how bad it is) • Not going ugly enough early enough • Unable to balance details with big picture • The wrong people • The right people in the wrong roles • Poor preparation • Poor execution • Poor control • Insufficient attention to quality • Point Scoring • Lack of common nomenclature • Different perspectives • Differing priorities • Inadequate Sponsorship • Lack of Focus on Results • “Drip Feed” or Soft Launch • Lack of Urgency • Poor Communications • Conflicting Agendas • Inadequate Capability to Deliver • Poor Organizational Culture • Lack of Delegation • Inappropriate Method • We always do it this way • Fear of Failure • History of Failure • Taking too long • Poor expectation management • Lack of buy in • Afraid to make difficult decisions • Time wasting Why is StratExDifficult?

  16. 16. © 2014 Cognizant 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 15
  17. 17. © 2014 Cognizant Little thought has been given to creating ENGAGED, high performance strategic execution teams in a focused, structured and repeatable way at the start of major transformational initiatives 16
  18. 18. © 2014 Cognizant Effective Engagement resolves the EIGHT critical areas essential for any successful Strategic Execution 1. Ensuring Clarity of Purpose 2. Simplify Complexity AND Maintain Alignment 3. Effective Sponsorship 4. Measure and Manage the Right Things 5. Understand your Capability and Environment REALLY well 6. Building an integrated plan that is thoroughly understood and bought into by the team 7. Embedding a consistent approach, with a supporting toolset and ENSURING the team use them! 8. Creating an Esprit rapidly that surmounts the “SOFT” issues experienced by all new teams How Can You Succeed?

  28. 28. © 2014 Cognizant 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. How Can You Succeed? 27

  37. 37. © 2014 Cognizant 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 How Can You Succeed? 36
