Summary:

"In Leading from the Center: Translating Strategy into Action, experienced practitioners and academics at Duke Corporate Education equip you to handle the demanding role of strategy translator." "Translating Strategy into Action is one of the first books in the dynamic new Leading from the Center series from Duke Corporate Education. Other books in the series include Building Effective Teams and Influencing and Collaborating for Results.".

"The combination of technological advances, better informed and connected customers, greater geographic reach, and a changing legal environment have altered the rules of business. This has caused a fundamental shift in the competitive landscape and challenged long-held assumptions about how organizations are managed and how they drive results. One implication of this is that strategy development and execution processes continue to merge.".

"What does this mean for managers? It means raised expectations for those managers who span the domains of strategy and execution - they must engage their teams in the strategy, and adapt to changing circumstances. While managers have always played a critical role in translating strategy into action, doing it in real time, with incomplete information and tight planning horizons, makes the task more challenging and the opportunities more interesting." "Complete with chapter-ending checklists, this practical guide will help you articulate a vision of where you want to be, assess where you are today, and then plan the sequence of steps and the capabilities that will help you reach your goals."--BOOK JACKET.
