The brief
Strategy is no longer scarce. Every leadership team now has the same market intelligence, the same analytics, the same AI-assisted planning. What remains rare is the ability to deliver on what has been decided, which is why roughly seventy per cent of large transformations still miss their original objectives.
The piece argues that execution should be treated as a strategic capability rather than the last stage of planning: institutional governance, clear ownership, and measurement that survives growth. AI raises the stakes rather than lowering them, since automating a fragmented process only makes it fragment faster.
