A Strategy That Works: How to Enhance a Company’s Ability to Realize Its Ambitions

Most companies do not fail for lack of a strategy; they fail when the time comes to put one into practice.

 
A Strategy That Works is a free guide from Stanton Chase Prague, drawn from more than 30 years of work with Czech and international companies of every size. It treats strategy as a living management tool rather than a document for the archives, and it links that strategy to the way a company is actually run. 

What Does A Strategy That Works Cover?

• An honest look at the market, including how many companies operate without a functional strategy and why even good
• A framework that applies from micro-enterprises to large corporations, across every sector. strategies fail to deliver. 
• Pillar by pillar guidance on designing a strategy, implementing it with clear ownership, aligning governance, and developing the competencies of your management team. 
• The recurring reasons companies stumble during implementation, with the habits and reviews that prevent them. 
• Guidance on how decision-making, reporting, motivation, and resource allocation can support your ambitions rather than work against them. 

Why Is It Valuable for Business Leaders?

• It helps you avoid the implementation failures that derail most companies, the stage where the majority fall short. 
• It shows how to protect decisions from common cognitive biases such as overconfidence, groupthink, and confirmation bias.
• It offers a practical, affordable approach, with the typical scope of support running to only 40 to 100 hours.
• It leaves you with a framework you can keep and continue to develop on your own.
