The Strategy Deployment Process
How to Cascade the Plan, Run the Rhythm, and Deliver Your NumberBy Bill CanadyRecorded TrackLength6h 11m
About this audiobook
Most plans do not fail. They are never deployed. The board signs in December, the leadership team applauds, and by September the year is lost — not because the strategy was wrong but because it never reached the people who run the business on Monday, nobody’s name was on the number, and the monthly meeting was a recital. Bill Canady has run strategy deployment as a CEO for over twenty years. This is the whole system at operating depth: the X-Matrix, the charter, catchball, the cascade, the bowler, the thresholds, the countermeasure, the sixty-minute review, the Prophet who runs it, and what kills it in year two. Eleven chances a year. Spend them. Narrated by a digital replica of the author's voice.
