3 Things That Make Every Strategy Successful

All business strategies share common ingredients. No matter your organization’s type, context, or the specific focus of your strategy, the essential components remain constant.

Whatever strategy you're working on today, it requires the same vital ingredients:

• Clear strategic objectives
• A need to encourage people to think and act differently
• An organised way for effective execution to ensure results.

Each week, I offer insights and tips to strengthen these core ingredients. Sometimes, I also dive into a specific strategy type.

Today, I’m highlighting 5 strategies I’ve explored over the past few years. For each, you'll find practical tips to help you execute successfully:

1. ESG Strategy – 3 Steps for Success
2. Customer Retention Strategies – Build Valuable Relationships
3. Digital Transformation Strategies (with Dr. Norman Chorn) – Critical Skills and Capabilities
4. Product Strategy – Execution Tips
5. Restructures – Successful Implementation

Notice the commonalities across these strategies, regardless of focus. They all involve strategic clarity, fostering change, and a solid project management framework.

P.S. I have a constant stream of ideas for Turbocharge Weekly. However, if you'd like me to cover specific strategies I’ve worked on—whether sales, HR, marketing, or even recent AI advancements—just let me know. I’d love to hear what you’re working on and any questions you have.
