What is strategy without execution?  Merely theory.

A successful business requires both a well developed strategy and the ability to execute on that strategy.  Many companies develop robust strategies, but fail at operationalizing their strategies into implementable steps.

Flevy has just released a free primer on the topic Strategy Development and Strategy Execution.  It is a 54-slide deck that discusses 12 frameworks, spanning both strategy development and execution.

This week, LearnPPT added a new section to their site: Operational Excellence.

What exactly is Operational Excellence?

Operational Excellence is a set of business principles, tools, and frameworks aimed to achieving sustainable improvement of key performance metrics. Much of this management philosophy is based on continuous improvement methodologies, such as Lean Management (or Lean Enterprise), Six Sigma, Kaizen, Hoshin Kanri, 5S Workplace Productivity, and PDCA. The focus of Operational Excellence goes beyond the traditional event-based model of improvement toward a long-term change in organizational culture.

The page is currently divided into 4 main sections:
