Much bigger. It is Tpart of a global effort to tackle one of the greatest issues facing global organizations: the persistent failure to turn great ideas, brilliant plans and wonderfully ornate strategies into reality. Our work at the Brightline Initiative is focused. First, we create and nurture thought and practice leadership by providing cutting-edge research and solutions. We facilitate the sharing and advancement of ideas through networking and capability building. And, through doing so, we help organizations enhance their ability to successfully manage strategic change. Our work has spawned agenda-setting research – along with the Economist Intelligence Unit, Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, Quartz Creative, MIT-CEPE, Technical University of Denmark and University of Tokyo. It has involved us in events with TED, the World Economic Forum, Singularity University, the Thinkers50 European Business Forum, the Web Summit, the Global Peter Drucker Forum and many others. We have also launched a Massive Online Open Course in partnership with Coursera called “Turning ideas into results – bridging the gap between strategy design and delivery”. This unique course combines insights into the Brightline Initiative’s ten guiding principles with practical examples and experience from global leaders and experts. The CSO Playbook is produced in collaboration with our long-term partners Thinkers50. It is a truly collaborative work, one which brings together a thought- provoking smorgasbord of great ideas about strategy and execution. To create the book we invited some of the world’s leading business thinkers to contribute and share their experiences, research and insights. We think the end result is as unique as it is compelling. The CSO Playbook is part of our continuing journey. We invite you to join us! Ricardo Viana Vargas Executive Director The Brightline Initiative 4 ‘My choice in everything is to say nothing and go do it.’ LOUIS V. GERSTNER, JR BRIGHTLINE INITIATIVE / THINKERS50 / THE CHIEF STRATEGY OFFICER PLAYBOOK 5 FOREWORD Taking action to turn ideas into reality espite all the progress made in the last few decades in strategy management, Dorganizations are still failing to get things done. Many different studies prove it. According to the Economist Intelligence Unit survey conducted in partnership with the Brightline Initiative, 90 percent of the senior executives admitted they fail to meet all of their organization’s strategic objectives. On average, organizations fail to meet 20 percent of their strategic objectives. Fifty nine percent of the respondents acknowledge there is a gap between strategy design and strategy delivery. And the needle has barely moved, because a similar survey in 2013 found that 61 percent of the respondents recognized the strategy implementation gap. As the world’s leading not-for-profit association for the project management profession, delivering value for more than three million professionals working to deliver strategic initiatives in nearly every country in the world, we know that ideas become reality through projects. It is a tough job. We have found that the main challenges related to strategy implementation are twofold: First, organizations don’t recognize that strategy is delivered through projects; and, second, the essential importance of project management as the driver of an organization’s strategy isn’t fully realized. These two factors have a profound impact on the organization’s performance and competitive advantage. It is not only the waste of resources that is a major concern, but the negative effects on society and the economy, because this gap also affects NGOs and government institutions.
