When a business strategy fails, shortcomings are often exposed–not in the strategy itself, but in the execution.  The ability to “get things done” is critical for business leaders and it is the overriding factor in determining a ompany’s long-term success, according to a recent survey by Strategy + Business.

The Getting Things Done program shows business leaders how to identify sources of power within their oganizations and use this information to effectively influence others and drive strategic change. Participants learn how to map an organization’s political terrain in order to identify individuals who are critical for diffusing a strategy-supportive culture. They acquire tools for monitoring strategy implementation over time, within the context of a changing business landscape.

Led by Stanford University Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer, a world-renowned expert on management, leadership and human resources, Getting Things Done unlocks the mysteries behind strategy implementation and reveals the most essential factors in bringing about the successful execution of business objectives.
