Business Strategy needs to be practical and tangible. If you can't implement your strategy and measure your success, it's of little benefit. It's all very well coming up with business improvement ideas, but do they help to achieve strategic goals, or is the money and time is better spent on more strategically aligned initiatives?

Steve regularly teaches courses that show people how to make their strategy tangible and measurable. It's important to link the low level goals and measures into business processes, and create "collection points" and "measurement points" in the processes that help you to see if you are realising operational and strategic goals.
