Management and leadership can be improved by reading Jim Gitney's book, Strategy Realized: The Corporate Hierarchy of Needs ®-Turning Strategy into Result

Every business needs to have well-defined long-term goals. A company can only grow and succeed to the extent that it has clearly defined objectives and aspirations. However, with so many skills to hone and standards to uphold, strategic planning is a necessary for the company's upper echelons Change management and employing a tried-and-true strategy for transitioning from a current business model to a future business model are major topics covered in Jim Gitney's "Strategy RealizedThe Business Hierarchy of Needs ®-Turning Strategy into Outcomes," a book about corporate success. Group50® Consulting, his firm, applies the principles from the book to every project, and has saved its clients hundreds of millions of dollars as a consequence. This technique can be applied by any organization to achieve its strategy. They think it's especially useful for companies going through a transformation as a result of a merger, reorganization, or other turning point. New venture creation and development are two applicable illustrations. In this essay, we'll discuss it in depth

All firms, at least in the outset, need to undergo some sort of reorganization. As sometimes even the most well-planned business initiatives fail, it's crucial that the strategy be driven by a Most Important Goal that evaluates how well the reorganization is working. In this case, every level of the Business Hierarchy of Needs® framework is relevant. Since people are more directly impacted by the restructuring method and are expected to make significant behavioral changes, Level 2 plays an outsized role in this tactic. Reorganizing the business will need them to make some tough decisions

But for mergers and acquisitions to be successful, the expected value growth must materialize. Several studies have found that as many as 80% of mergers and acquisitions don't produce the anticipated benefits. The failure to effectively integrate different business

strategies, cultural norms, personnel, markets, goods, and software platforms is largely to blame for this result. The Business Hierarchy of Needs® can be used as a guide to establish a comprehensive plan for merging the organizations, identifying the single most important goal, and agreeing on a set of well-considered strategies that will forge a unified culture while exponentially growing the business's worth

He also discusses the importance of inflection points and how the Business Hierarchy of Needs® has proven to be an indispensable tool for forecasting the future of the company and setting it up for a doubling of its size.
