Organizational consultant Jacques Pijl notes that companies are frustrated by the fact that changes cannot be implemented properly. Pijl is a strategic consultant for change processes in the private and public sectors. A few years ago, he wrote the bestseller 'The New Normal' in which he wrote sparklingly about preparing a company for the 21st century.
The key insights from Strategy = Execution
According to the author, successful innovation in the 21st century means embracing three forms of change: run , change and strategy execution. Then you ensure impact and agility. So Joe Speedboat instead of a supertanker. A speedboat that is completely 'yin-yang': the soft is hard, the hard is soft. In this, digital innovation is not a choice, but a must. And you embrace the Pareto principle in running your organization: 20 percent strategy, 80 percent do, do, do.
Digital innovation is not a choice, but a must.
Accelerator 1. Choose
In this first accelerator, focus is the magic hongkong phone numbers word. Start with the four building blocks Aim (an agile target that you only spend 15 minutes on), Select (make a sharp choice so that you can give clear assignments), Appeal (test and enrich your business story) and Activate (everyone must be in the same movie and ride on the same bandwagon ). Otherwise it will be nothing, nada.

Accelerator 2. Initiate
At the Initiate accelerator it is important how you get started. The four building blocks are:
Must-have: provide a clear assignment
Breakthrough: Provide a minimum viable product and a logical customer journey
Start excellent: start fast, failure is allowed

Accelerator 3. Harvest
Again four building blocks.
