Translating Strategy Into Action --
Home Runs & Strike Outs

Organizations invest a tremendous amount of time discussing and creating strategies -- some of which never make an impact. The most elegant and well-conceived strategiesmwill never make an impact without successful implementation.

Implementation requires insight, communication, and the ability to adjust to changing conditions. Strategies rarely account for all the possible contingencies and require agility and determination to bring to fruition.

As we start the New Year, Forge presents a program designed to help you take the action necessary to reach the goals set in your plans. The panel will present their stories – both home runs and strike outs – in order to provide deep insights into how to change plans into a successful 2011. Hear how they learned from their business whiffs and used those strike outs to create home runs.

Join us on Thursday, January 27th for networking, open discussion, and insight on how to create momentum in your company. Hear company leaders will share their stories and answer your questions about how to translate strategies into successful action.
