Bridging the Strategy-to-Execution Gap with Enterprise Transformation

Bridging the Strategy-to-Execution Gap with Enterprise Transformation

Oct 16, 2025 - Bert van der Zwan - Leadership
Strategy to Execution Gap Enterprise Transformation

When it comes to digital transformation, progress is still a steep climb for many. Recent studies show that 88% of transformation fall short of their ambitions while only a quarter of organizations qualify their efforts as truly successful. [1]

But after decades of investment, why is real impact still so rare? The answer lies in a persistent gap between strategy and execution. McKinsey research indicates that even high-performing companies deliver around 30% less value than their strategies promise. [2]

Why Transformations Fail 

When there's a disconnect between strategy and execution, it often stems from lacking a unified view of the organization, leading to fragmented decisions and lost value.

2025 State of Enterprise Architecture report – New findings

2025 State of Enterprise Architecture report – New findings

Apr 17, 2025 - Marc Lankhorst - Leadership
The state of Enterprise architecture 2025 written on bleu background

It’s no good having a strategy if you can’t execute on it.

This year, for our fifth annual State of Enterprise Architecture report, we quizzed organizations on their ability to bring about change. In particular, we focused on how well they understand their capabilities and their insight into IT sustainability. We also asked about how they invest, and what the barriers to executing strategy are.

Respondents assessed their enterprise architecture maturity on seven criteria. We then worked out an average score and ranked the results. The top 25% of organizations we named “leaders”, and the bottom 25% are “laggards”. More than 500 enterprise architecture professionals and their colleagues took part.

We found that leaders invest more strategically, have a better understanding of their capabilities, and are way ahead in IT sustainability.

Understanding business capabilities

To successfully transform an organization requires a good understanding of its capabilities today and how they need to change in the future. Capabilities are things that the organization does or can do, regardless of how they’re done. For example, “product development” might be a high-level capability, while “prototyping” might be a capability under it. The idea is that the entire organization can be described in terms of its capabilities, without overlaps or gaps.

 

Why Strategic Portfolio Management Belongs on Every CEO’s Agenda

Why Strategic Portfolio Management Belongs on Every CEO’s Agenda

May 8, 2025 - Conrad Langhammer - Leadership

Most CEOs aren’t short on ambition. What they lack is visibility. Strategic plans stall, investments go unchecked, and disconnected teams spin in circles—all because leaders can’t see where value is being created (or lost). Strategic Portfolio Management changes that. It turns transformation from a guessing game into a guided and collaborative path for decision makers.

The CEO Mandate: Alignment, Speed, and Value

Today’s CEOs are under relentless pressure to deliver transformation with precision. For CIOs, that means finding ways to prioritize investments, accelerate delivery, manage costs, and allocate resources more effectively. SPM is becoming central to that effort, and according to Gartner’s Technology Adoption Roadmap for Large Enterprises 2025 survey, the number of SPM frameworks, processes, and tools in use has nearly doubled in the past year – rising from 17% to 32%.

 

How Digital Complexity Is Outpacing Strategic Planning

How Digital Complexity Is Outpacing Strategic Planning

Digital transformation has become synonymous with progress. Every new platform promises agility, every integration the potential to scale, and every cloud migration a faster path to innovation. But beneath the surface of this rapid evolution lies a growing problem.

Digital complexity is compounding—faster than most organizations can strategically manage

What started as a push to modernize has evolved into a tangled web of systems, processes, and tools. Enterprises are now navigating sprawling application portfolios, fragmented data ecosystems, and multi-cloud infrastructures, all while trying to stay responsive to market demands. Then throw another variable in the mix: AI.
