Strategy 2 Execution helps leaders and their organizations successfully transition strategies to effective execution

Ron Lamb, Founder & Managing Director
Ron Lamb, in founding Strategy 2 Execution, had a vision to create step-improvement over current Strategy Execution ‘best practices’. Surveys show that strategy execution programs fail over 75% of the time to meet leaders’ expectations. When strategic initiatives fail, valuable resources are wasted and opportunities and careers lost.
We’ve now completed over fifteen years of systematic research and work with clients with multiple ‘bet the business’ challenges. We have continued to improve upon the principles, unified method, visualizations, technique and tools that serve to build strategy execution confidence that targeted outcomes will in fact be achieved. Strategy 2 Execution is completely focused on creation of step improvement over the way existing methods and tools are applied.

“Ron Lamb has figured out a new way to provide structure to the very unstructured environment where most initiatives live. suspect that in a few years, everyone will wonder what they did without it.”
“Our team of energy firms and the DOE weren’t sure we were working on the right things until we tried the Language of Execution. After a one day session we had a clear roadmap. For the first time we all understood what it would take to achieve our objectives. It has been our guide for the past year”
