Line of Sight: The Five Keys for Strategic Execution in an Age of Uncertainty
Thursday, April 25, 2024 | 4:00 - 6:00 pm
The Stubborn Brother Pizza Bar
This is a members only event, if you would like to attend as a guest please email
us at utfamilybusiness@utoledo.edu
Join the UToledo Family Business Center, Center Sponsor Hylant, and Friend of the Center Real Good Ventures for our April event featuring authors Robert Courser and Olivier Aries as they share insights from their book "Line of Sight".
Strategy is taught. Execution is not. We want to change that. Strategy is only half the story. Line of Sight is a call for company founders and executives to embrace a new mindset: Success does not lie in planning and goal setting; it lies in good execution.
Say Goodbye to The Execution Tax. Executives must lead with data, not just intuition, to optimize their execution capabilities; identify hidden friction in organizations and eliminate the “execution tax” that eats at productivity and profits.
It’s all about alignment. "Line of Sight" lays out a simple, practical approach built around the five keys to strategic execution: strategic understanding, leadership, balanced metrics, activities & structure, and human capital.
Don’t miss this opportunity to engage with the authors, learn the framework, and transform the way you think about execution, performance, and results.
*BONUS - All attendees will receive a copy of the book.
