Description
The Distance Between Strategy and Execution is a practical business novel about what happens after a strategy leaves the boardroom and enters the real world of operations. The story follows the leadership team of Apex Polymer Systems as it works to convert an ambitious growth plan into results. Along the way, the team confronts familiar execution challenges—unclear assumptions, functional silos, delayed decisions, conflicting priorities, capacity constraints, customer commitments, quality concerns, maintenance needs and the everyday realities of the shop floor.
Through realistic conversations and workplace situations, the novel shows that execution is not simply about working harder or following up more aggressively. It is about continuously reducing the distance between what an organization decides and what actually happens.
Who should read it: Business owners, CEOs, managers, operations leaders, functional heads, supervisors and professionals who want to understand how strategy can be translated into clearer decisions, stronger collaboration and better execution.
Central question: What has to become true for this strategy to become real?
