FIT - The Simple Science of Achieving Strategic Goals
FIT uncovers the incredibly simple process that enables organizations to become fit to achieve incredible things.
Throughout our lives, we learn to apply a waterfall-style approach to getting work done. Strategic plans are big batches of annual objectives, projects, tasks, and budgets. This approach is woefully inadequate for achieving significant organizational goals. McKinsey and other reputable sources cite a 90% failure rate to this approach, partly due to its rigidity in a frequently disrupted business climate.
FIT is a revolutionary process that makes Strategy Execution infinitely more agile, applying a more flexible single-piece flow model of goal setting and alignment, process iteration, and tracking progress.
