The Execution Gap

The Strategy Execution Gap

67% of strategies fail at execution. Not because the strategy was wrong — because the system between strategy and results was missing.

The Four Gaps
Where value leaks
Each gap represents a measurable drag on your EBITDA improvement target.

Where value leaks

3.5%
EBITDA leakage

Wrong Work Funded

Low-impact projects get funded while high-value ones starve. Without strategic prioritization, capital follows politics instead of outcomes.

Source: PMI
Example

A $2M integration project gets approved because someone built a compelling deck — while a $500K process improvement with 4x the ROI waits in a backlog no one reviews.

2.5%
EBITDA leakage

Late Risk Discovery

Problems stay hidden until they're expensive to fix. Manual reporting creates a fog that delays intervention by months.

Source: HBR
Example

A cross-functional dependency surfaces 8 weeks late. By the time leadership sees it, the remediation costs 3x what early intervention would have.

2.5%
EBITDA leakage

Unproven ROI

Benefits delivered but never measured so every budget cycle starts from scratch. Without traceability, the PMO can't defend its own value.

Source: Gartner
Example

Finance asks for proof that last year's $5M program delivered value. The PMO spends 3 weeks assembling data from 6 spreadsheets. The answer is "we think so."

1.5%
EBITDA leakage

Reporting Tax

PMO spends 40% of their time reconciling data, not driving results. The reporting cycle consumes the capacity needed for proactive work.

Source: Wellingtone
Example

Every Monday, 12 project managers update 4 different trackers. By Wednesday, the SteerCo deck is assembled manually. By Thursday, the data is already stale.
