BUSINESS LEADERS RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF STRATEGIC PLANNING, but many experience difficulty when translating their strategies into business results. A common misconception is that a  well-defined business strategy will implement itself.

No matter how well conceived by senior management, business strategy becomes ineffective when colleagues misinterpret it, block it, or simply do not understand how to act on it. We believe that your strategy can be made operational by investing in and developing the process capabilities that lead to market differentiation and competitive advantage.

This survey is designed to address your organization’s ability to achieve the aspects of the business strategy associated with processes. It is not designed to evaluate the quality or appropriateness of its strategic plan. This strategy deployment readiness diagnostic focuses on the characteristics and attributes necessary for successfully implementing the process-based elements of a business strategy. While no single characteristic provides assurance that strategic objectives will be achieved, there are several organizational dimensions that can have a major impact on (and serve as predictive indicators to) the likelihood that a business can achieve its the strategic objectives which can be significantly impacted by process. By understanding and measuring these dimensions, a business can identify and address issues and barriers that prevent elements of a good strategy from being achieved.
