Effective Strategy Execution describes the first Strategic Alignment Remote ControlTM for managers. Readers will learn how to monitor performance, receive alerts and issue commands to steer their business across the globe.

Turbulent times create a threat for the survival of organizations while also offering new opportunities. This book uses many examples to demonstrate how an improved strategic management approach, leveraging established management concepts in conjunction with the innovative technology solutions offered by business intelligence, can lead to improved results. The book presents the three main barriers to an effective strategy execution and how they can be overcome. Creating a shared understanding of the strategy on all levels of the organization using a Value Scorecard TM and following the Strategic Alignment Process TM enables organizations to measure and monitor performance. The Strategic Alignment Remote Control TM is presented as the ultimate tool for managers to remain in control of their business.
