Implementation

A survey of large UK enterprises reveals only 18.4% of businesses achieve more than 80% of their aspirational growth goals within three years of setting them.

Additionally, almost half (41.2%) of companies fail to achieve 60% or more of their stated targets in this timeframe, indicating a widespread struggle with consistent execution.

While growth remains a top priority, many UK businesses are falling short in execution and innovation. The research highlights significant strategic and operational gaps that hinder performance and the realisation of aspirational growth targets.

Implementing strategy is where the rubber hits the road. Closing your ambition gap only happens when strategic initiatives are well executed shifting the business closer to its next best version of itself.
