Matching the strategic ambition to an honest and clear assessment of the existing business capability is vital to a successful execution of the business plan.
Many times, businesses will set strategic ambitions far ahead of existing capabilities and believe that they can figure it out as they go.
This often results in delays, extra costs, compromised solutions, frustration and loss competitive advantage.
Retrospective capability development is never a good plan.
In fact, an accurate and honest assessment of the existing business capabilities – people, process and tools – is an essential start point to any strategy.
Identifying the gaps between ambition and current capability can then generate the capability development plans to underpin the strategy.
