Execution capability<\/b>\u00a0is, amidst the current disruptions, the\u00a0<\/span>crucial lever for a company\u2019s success<\/b>. Long strategy meetings produce impressive presentations; after passionate and even controversial discussions, however, everyone eventually gives it the thumbs-up: \u201cYes \u2013 that\u2019s how we will make it happen.\u201d In training sessions, managers are then further committed to the cause and equipped with the necessary skills. But then the daily routine once again prioritizes the urgent over the important; simply too little happens; momentum is lost; commitments made are forgotten or watered down; and there is a lack of decisive and goal-oriented action. This isn\u2019t necessarily down to ill will \u2013 it\u2019s just human nature.<\/span><\/p>\n

This \u201cknowing-doing gap\u201d can currently be seen not only in the world of high-level politics. A recent survey of around 250 German companies shows how, unfortunately, many companies are feeling: 70% report only minimal to sporadic implementation in practice \u2013 20% have no data on this at all, while only 10% are \u201csomewhat satisfied\u201d with the transfer.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Significant investments are being made in important and worthwhile initiatives that implement strategy and \u201clearning journeys\u201d \u2013 yet, unfortunately, their impact in practice all too often fizzles out too quickly. There is a lack of continuous impetus to stay on track \u2013 to really get down to \u201cdoing\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

With the support of artificial intelligence, what a company has already implemented (and invested in!) in terms of strategic direction and improved leadership can finally be made to deliver continuous, tangible results: through\u00a0<\/span>AI-powered \u201cnudging\u201d<\/b><\/a> \u2013 an approach based on the work of Nobel laureate Richard H. Thaler. Nudging means\u00a0<\/span>continuously \u201cgiving a nudge\u201d to actually take action \u2013 and make things happen<\/b>. It\u2019s similar to the reminder \u201cbeep\u201d anyone hears when a seatbelt has not been fastened in the car. What makes this special is that it requires no additional training measures; instead, investments already made in strategy and leadership are, so to speak, \u201crecycled\u201d \u2013 tailored to the specific company and personalized individually for each leader \u2013 \u0430nd integr\u0430ted into a communication system that is already in daily use. The principle is impressively simple and requires no additional IT project.\u00a0Thanks to <\/span>\u201c<\/span>Blended Leading<\/b>\u201d<\/span><\/a>, this new approach is now finally available at scale and at minimal cost.<\/span><\/p>\n

And companies can\u00a0<\/span>even try it out free of charge until the end of the year, as this scientifically sound project was funded by the European Union<\/b>.
