Allowing and encouraging your employees to flourish by ensuring that your managers are Multipliers, not Diminishers.
Being very clear about your Core Competencies so that you can collaborate to compete – Coopetition.
Adopting “The Challenger Sale” and challenging your customers and using Demand Chain Monitoring to gain a closer understanding of their customers.
Following “The Art of Action” to define your intent and using cascading intent and the back brief to ensure that you do achieve the results you expect.
Recognising the correct approach to planning, because traditional goal-based planning does not work if there is too much uncertainty. This means changing to means-based planning, Effectuation.

Questions posed by the interview: Successful Strategy Implementation

How do you score on the Multiplier survey? Accordingly If you are an accidental diminisher, how will you change your style of leadership?
How sound is your understanding of your Core Competencies? In other words, do you know why your customers by from you and who could you collaborate with?
How effective is your approach to planning? You should therefore become familiar with "The Art of Action" and know under which circumstances you should be using means-based planning.
