Professional Pitfalls

Professionals often move through their career focusing on aggressively growing their industry expertise and functional experience. They then often struggle to succeed over the long-term, not sure what they are missing in their professional toolkit.This "third dimension" of professional success can be distilled through a set of three levers, with relatively simple tools, that the world's best professionals and companies are fully aware of and exploiting extensively.In our 20+ years of working with boards, CEOs, CXOs, and managers, and professionals we've found that the hurdles above often stem from overlooking the power of bringing these three levers to bear, individually, as a team, and as organizations.This limits an executive's ability to unlock value, for their organization, and inevitably, for themselves.

Value at Stake

Executives often exhibit an unintended “A vs B vs C” approach, particularly when there are courageous, capable leaders in differing functional divisions. An inability to manage the interplay of executives based on poor translation of vastly different “functional languages” destroys potential enterprise value.Think of an organization as a machine: organizational alignment is its lubrication. Proper alignment ensures value unlock through synchronizing assets, particularly ideas (strategy), money (finance), and people (talent).Key observations on the the value at stake:Companies that can’t align strategy and finance are 10 times more likely to face financial decline. [PwC]40% of employees, when left unaligned, do not fully understand their company's strategic goals.[HBR]Misalignment between finance and talent leads to 30% lower return on investment in many firms. [McKinsey]Only 10% of strategies formulated are effectively executed in the average company. [Fortune]40%+ of companies with high alignment between finance and execution processes exceed their revenue targets. [Deloitte]Companies that effectively align talent with execution have a 15% higher shareholder return. [KPMG]Our consulting support systematically unlocks value by synchronizing Strategy, Finance, Talent, and Execution.
