This PPT slide, part of the 23-slide Strategy Execution: The 10 Strategy Tests PowerPoint presentation, presents an overview of the results from a survey assessing how well companies' typical business unit strategies perform against ten specific tests. It highlights a significant disparity in perceptions among executives regarding their companies' strategic effectiveness. Approximately half of the respondents believe their strategies only pass one to 3 of the tests, indicating a widespread sense of inadequacy in strategic execution.
A notable 15% of executives feel that their strategies fail to pass any of the tests, which raises concerns about overall strategic alignment and effectiveness. Conversely, only a minimal 2% claim their companies successfully pass nine or all ten tests, suggesting that high-performing strategies are rare. Around 25% of participants report that their companies can clear 4 to 6 tests, which may imply a moderate level of strategic competency among some organizations.
The slide also draws attention to geographical differences in perceptions. Executives from India reported a higher frequency of passing tests compared to their counterparts in China, Europe, or North America. This could reflect varying levels of strategic maturity or differing business environments across regions.
The accompanying pie chart visually represents these findings, breaking down the percentage of respondents in each category. The data underscores the importance of stress-testing strategies to identify weaknesses and areas for improvement. Companies that understand their strategic limitations can take proactive steps to enhance their execution capabilities, ultimately leading to better performance outcomes.
