Why strategy and execution drift apart
Organizations don’t get stuck because they lack ambition.
They get stuck because the translation from strategy to execution is rarely explicit.
STRATEGY & AMBITION

The breakdown rarely occurs within a single layer.
It happens at the handoffs between them.
Where Things Break
Between strategy and decisions
Strategy is clear, but priorities are ambiguous. Trade-offs are deferred, alignment is assumed, and leaders move forward without a shared view of what must happen next.
Between decisions and capabilities
Organizations commit to direction without making explicit what capabilities are required to deliver it. Teams are asked to execute before skills, structure, or governance are in place.
Between capabilities and execution
Execution plans overestimate readiness. Teams compensate heroically, initiatives fragment, and momentum becomes fragile — especially in complex GTM or cross-border expansion efforts.
The failure point is rarely strategy itself.
It is the missing translation from decisions into executable capability.
