Hoy en día parece que las empresas exitosas tienen un sistema para todo.

Sin embargo, la mayoría de las empresas aún no ha desarrollado un sistema para gestionar su proceso más importante: cómo desarrollar y ejecutar sus estrategias.En The Execution Premium, Robert Kaplan y David Norton demuestran que las empresas que utilizan un sistema formal de implementación de la estrategia sin duda superan a sus pares. Los autores sostienen que, si bien ya existen muchas de las herramientas necesarias para implementar una estrategia con efectividad, no se ha desarrollado todavía un marco que relacione los diversos elementos inherentes a esa implementación. En esta obra crean un sistema de gestión integral y novedoso que las empresas pueden utilizar para sustentar una ejecución estratégica de vanguardia.

This book, authored by the creators of the Balanced Scorecard, illustrates how managers can effectively utilize this innovative tool to engage their teams in achieving the company's mission.

Ultimately, this framework encourages companies to focus on long-term investments in customers, employees, and innovation, transforming the approach to measuring and managing business success.
