Summary: Learn how Flawless Execution℠ can be used across the enterprise as an Agile alignment meta-framework that aligns centralized planning and decentralized execution for a remarkably workable Agile business solution.
A recent Harvard Business Review survey of more than 400 global CEOs found that executional excellence was the number-one challenge facing corporate leaders, from a list of 80 issues. The top reason for poor execution is poor alignment between business strategy and initiative prioritization. Agile practices and frameworks are not sufficiently addressing the alignment issue in an easily repeatable manner.
Find out how Flawless Execution fills this executional excellence alignment gap:
- Flawless Execution is an easy-to-learn alignment framework. It can span an enterprise’s existing frameworks and processes to meet threats and opportunities as they emerge without adding more process weight.
- Flawless Execution is the lightest, most minimally invasive of all the Agile frameworks.
- Organizational alignment provided through FLEX meets disruption head-on and fosters a culture that thrives in complex, unpredictable, and rapidly changing environments.
FLEX is adaptive, transparent, collaborative, and responsive. Its light, fast, and nimble focus is the essence of agility.
