The 2014 Strategy Study at a Glance

Embed Size (px)

DESCRIPTION

A.T. Kearney reached out to more than 2,000 executives, business leaders, and heads of strategy functions to discuss their thoughts on the state of strategy today. Our findings indicate that while most leaders continue to believe in strategy, the return on their strategy initiatives has largely eroded over the past decade. In fact, when asked what it takes to secure a prosperous future, more than 80 percent of executives consider agility as important or more important than strategy when it comes to securing a prosperous future. Fortunately, the findings also point to promising ways to reclaim strategy—including using future-focused tools and techniques and engaging the organization in strategy formulation.
