Stragile - Paperback

by Shawn Jean (Author)

Mind the Gap

This book is your business survival guide in a time of unparalleled-and accelerating-rate of change. When your margin for error is shrinking, even a small miscalculation-a misalignment, a tiny gap between your target (what you want; your strategy) and reality (your results)-can quickly widen into a chasm that will threaten your company's existence.

Innovation in technology will be the differentiator to apply to the "art" and "science" of strategic execution and will separate the ones who get what they want vs those who do not.

The word "stragile" simply means a strategy that is agile. To be stragile means to be aware, responsive, and willing to do what's necessary to meet your organization's goals.

Through its use of revealing case studies, this powerful and eye-opening book shows you how to prevent your organization (or project) from ending up like so many businesses, failing as the result of a long series of miscalculations and gaps between real life conditions and expected results.

In "Stragile," Shawn Jean provides you with the strategies and tools to identify and close those gaps so you can keep your organization thriving and profi table.
