SEVEN STRATEGY QUESTIONS(ISBN=9781422133323) 下载 pdf 百度网盘 epub 免费 2025 电子版 mobi 在线

　　To stay ahead of the pack, you must translate your

organization's competitive strategy into day-to-day actions that

will enable your company to win in the marketplace. This means

channeling resources into the right efforts, striking a balance

between innovation and control, and getting everyone pulling in the

same direction.

How to accomplish all this? Continually ask the right

questions, advises Harvard Business School professor Robert Simons.

By posing these provocative questions, you identify critical gaps

in your strategy execution processes, focus on the most important

choices you must make, and understand what's at stake in each

one.

In this concise guide, Simons presents the seven key questions

you and your team must regularly explore together:

·Who is your primary customer? Have you organized your company

to deliver maximum value to that customer?

·How do your core values prioritize shareholders, employees,

and customers? Is everyone in your company committed to those

values?

·What critical performance variables are you tracking? How are

you creating accountability for performance on those variables?

·What strategic boundaries have you set? Does everyone know

what actions are off-limits?

·How are you generating creative tension? Is that tension

catalyzing innovation across units?

·How committed are your employees to helping each other? Are

they sharing responsibility for your company’s success?

·What strategic uncertainties keep you awake at night? How are

you riveting everyone's attention on those uncertainties?

These questions force you to reexamine the unspoken

assumptions underlying your strategy and analyze how it's

implemented through your business processes and structures. Simons'

extensive examples then help you understand your options and make

the tough choices needed for your company to excel at

execution.

Drawing on decades of research into performance management

systems and organization design, Seven Strategy Questions is a

no-nonsense, must-read resource for all leaders in your

organization.
