For the organization that builds their capacity to solve business problems today, an interesting result inevitably occurs:  the organization will experience different challenges tomorrow, AND, they’ll be even greater in their scope. 

Indeed, a paradox exists for growing organizations that learn to cultivate their capacity to execute strategy effectively, which we appropriately call “The Growth Paradox.”

Here’s how the scenario plays out:

• No matter what business leaders think is their biggest problem is today, it isn’t. 
• Tomorrow’s challenges will not only be different, they’ll be even more difficult.
• Learning how to balance strategy and execution, while overcoming the inevitable surprises, is the most foundational capability any organization can have.
• With this newfound capability, organizations reduce risk, manage chaos, and are able to gain or regain control.
• Leaders who build organizations with an ability to balance strategy and execution over long periods of time achieve a level of enduring business excellence.
• Consistent execution over time is extremely rare, and because it’s rare, this increases the value of the organization.

Overcoming this challenge is what we mean by “solving the one problem that makes solving all other problems easier.
