The Business Excellence Model we’re describing is not about company size. It is, however, very useful in helping leaders of businesses of any size to understand where they are now.

When we put this Model in front of business leaders, they quickly point to where they think their company is today.

The ultimate goal is to get to cultivate the capability in your organization to stay in Quadrant II for longer and longer periods of time.

Now, you can do the same by taking the Execution Revolution Challenge. Visit our free interactive tool at www.SixDisciplines.com/Challenge.  Have your entire organization take the Challenge as well, and you’ll be surprised to see how differently people view how your organization is balancing the two dimensions of strategy and execution.

We’ve developed a free, interactive tool that enables organizations to rate how well they execute their strategies.  The Execution Revolution Challenge only takes one minute to complete, but the results will cause you to begin thinking and acting differently about how you address the biggest challenge in business: execution.

The purpose of the Execution Revolution Challenge is to prove whether everyone in your organization is on the ‘same page’ or not, in terms of the strategy execution capability of the organization. Businesses are not alone in their struggle to grow predictably and profitably.  Very few businesses have this mastered.  Taking the Execution Revolution Challenge is the first step in understanding what you need to do differently to solve the biggest challenge in business.

I encourage every person within an organization to take the Challenge.  When completed, the tool provides CEOs with a crystal clear view into the level of strategy and execution alignment within their organization.
After an organization takes the Challenge, most CEOs come away with a sense of urgency that something needs to be done differently, in order to execute strategy more consistently and predictably.

The Idea Behind The Execution Revolution Challenge
The idea behind the Execution Revolution Challenge comes from my new book, Six Disciplines® Execution Revolution – Solving the One Business Problem that Makes Solving All Other Problems Easier. The Challenge brings the Six Disciplines Business Excellence Model™ to life. The model illustrates that every organization, during its life cycle, moves around on a four-quadrant matrix, characterized by weak and strong strategy and execution, which indicates consistent operations and profit potential.

The Execution Revolution Challenge illustrates that there is a revolutionary new way for businesses to move to the upper right hand quadrant, where strategy and execution are balanced and predictable, indicated by profitable growth. Every CEO aspires to perform profitably and consistently and the Challenge helps CEOs start the baseline to begin.

How the Execution Revolution Challenge Works
Any individual can initiate the Execution Revolution Challenge for their organization by visiting www.SixDisciplines.com/Challenge, and answering five simple questions.  This individual can then plot where they think their company is on the strategy execution matrix.  Doing so generates an email which includes a Challenge ID unique for the rest of their organization. By forwarding this email to every person in the organization, each employee gets to plot where they think their company is relative to executing strategy. Once everyone has taken the Challenge, team members can return to the interactive tool, and collectively see how each person rates the organization’s overall ability to execute strategy.
