Aligning Financial benefits with Strategic Execution

As we travel the globe from New York to Boston, London, Geneva and beyond working with senior leadership in global businesses a very common trend we discuss in the evergreen challenge of aligning financial benefits and the reality of Strategy Execution. Whether the strategic imperative is revenue growth, business expansion or supply chain cost reduction – the common thread is always how to align, measure and course correct the actual financial reality.

We are often brought in to help solve the challenges business face including double counting or financial benefits, misalignments between the StratEx team with finance and the broader business as well as worrisome challenge of having minimal control or insight in what is or isn’t working.

There are endless project management tools that provide a varying degree of control on the execution of strategy and then quite separate financial tools that attempt to control the financial management side of the ledger. What is missing is a dedicated Strategy Execution platform that enables both disciplines and then provide real-time management insight.

The stakes are high in aligning financial benefits with Strategy Execution because in challenging economic times an enterprise needs immediate insight and control of what is and isn’t working, the ability to course correct immediately and ultimately confidence that the strategic imperative isn’t going to fail.

Whilst a Strategy Execution platform is an enterprise scale technology platform with its inherent deployment and integration challenges, the i-nexus StratEx platform has an astonishing sub 90-day time to value. That mean for our Fortune 500 clients we deploy a Strategy Execution platform from Day 1 to fully operational in less than 3-months.
