Host Dale Dixon and two of the authors of the book “Optimizing Strategy for Results” wrap up their series on the 7 Stages of Strategy with Strategic Evaluation and Learning. Dr. Evans Baiya and Professor Timothy Waema explain that the continuous process of strategy doesn’t always blatantly show how to get the results you are looking for. They outline next steps if you find a mistake in your strategy (even in past stages), and how clear data, documentation, communication, and evaluation are critical on the path to long-term strategic success.

“Continuous feedback is a leader’s best-kept secret during execution. Show me a leader whose organization is quiet and I will show you a leader whose organization is hoping they will get it right. Show me a leader who actually encourages and is involved in seeking, receiving and actually supporting feedback, and I will show you an organization that is executing intentionally, purposefully, with a high level of accountability, towards an agreed upon result.”
Authors Dr. Evans Baiya and Professor Timothy Waema move into Stage 6 of the 7 Stages of Strategy: Strategic Execution. In this conversation with host Dale Dixon on their latest book, “Optimizing Strategy for Results,” (co-authored with Ron Price) they examine the importance of communication, repetition, feedback and accountability for everyone in the organization. With simple, predictable workflows and continuous feedback, this stage will help you produce impactful results.

“One of the reasons why we wrote this book was because many of the strategy books were not focusing on results. One of the most important things is to plan for results.”
Dr. Evans Baiya and Professor Timothy Waema detail the next stage of their book, “Optimizing Strategy for Results,” co-authored with Ron Price. In their conversation with host Dale Dixon, they build on the decisions made in Stage 4 to move on to Stage 5: Strategic Planning for Execution. This stage involves executing those decisions, monitoring for results, and creating clear metrics. The authors also discuss how to avoid a breakdown between the stages by using the canvases and tools from the book as your guide.
