What is the strategy-to-execution gap?

The strategy-to-execution gap refers to the disconnect between a company's or solo/entrepreneur’s strategic plans and their actual implementation. A common problem arises when there is a lack of alignment, communication, and coordination between the strategy and execution stages of a project or initiative and capacity-building. This gap can result in failed or incomplete projects, missed opportunities, and lost revenue.

A great way to consider the gap is if a plane was one degree off course when it took off. A plane leaving LAX en route to JFK would land in New Jersey instead.

Do you ever feel like you took off with a destination in mind but landed someplace else with no idea how you got there?

The Gap Dēmĭstəfīed closes the execution gap with practical and tactical knowledge, equipping you to get and stay on course.

We get off course because we don’t know what to do, or we’re overwhelmed; we don’t know where to start. The Gap Dēmĭstəfīed breaks down complex topics into digestible steps and concepts.

Why do you spell Demystified like Dēmĭstəfīed?

I use the phonetic composition of demystified to signify breaking down the complex into the simple.

What’s with the logo?

When people ride the tube (train) in London, signs warn them to ‘mind the gap’ between the train and the platform so they don’t fall in or get stuck. The Gap Dēmĭstəfīed logo resembles the sign for the tube stations.

This newsletter helps identify the gaps before falling in (and how to get out).
