“I have been an independent full-time for only eight months, although I have been in consulting in one form or another for 20 years. If my experience remains as good as this one, being an a-connect IP could be the cornerstone of my career going forward.” M.E.B., IP since 2005


Welcome to the a-connect IP Newsletter
by Perry Fagan

Welcome to the September 2006 issue of the a-connect IP newsletter! Now that the soccer world championship has been digested and the world has returned to business as usual, we at a-connect return to a pursuit at the core of our mission: helping global corporations implement their strategies. We dedicate this issue to the difficult challenge of enacting strategy: just what does it take to translate a declared strategy into concrete actions that increase shareholder value? a-connect, as a trusted implementation partner to large corporations worldwide, is on the forefront of helping corporations "walk the talk" of their strategies.

First up is an article by a-connect Talent Partner Sascha Schmidt, developer of the "Resourcer" analysis tool and strategy dashboard. In his editorial Sascha lays out his motivation behind developing this innovative tool, and shows how it can be used by managers to keep their strategy implementation on track.

This month's getAbstract business book abstract, "Making Strategy Work: Leading Effective Execution and Change," by Lawrence Hrebiniak, takes a deeper look at the reasons strategy implementation often fails, and steps managers can take to ensure success.

For a client's perspective on the strategy setting process we present an interview with Jeff Trandahl, Executive Director of the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation (NFWF). An a-connect team has been working with NFWF to develop a new mission statement and strategy for the past six months, and Talent Partner Rene Limacher, who led the engagement, caught up with the busy executive to discuss his experience with a-connect.

Meanwhile, we are proud to present an interview with IP Ian Mombru; to celebrate the publishing of IP David Maude's textbook "Global Private Banking and Wealth Management: The New Realities"; to announce the opening of our new talent hub in Germany; and to report on other exciting developments at a-connect around the world.

Once again, welcome. Enjoy!
