Strategy is Easy - Execution is Where the Magic Happens

There’s an old Irish saying: A good start is half the work. But in business, a strong strategy is only as good as your ability to execute it. In New Zealand, where businesses often operate with lean teams and big ambitions, the challenge isn’t dreaming up ideas—it’s making them happen.

Why Do So Many Businesses Struggle With Execution?

  1. The ‘She’ll Be Right’ Mentality – Kiwi businesses pride themselves on adaptability, but without a clear plan, execution can drift.

  2. Lack of Prioritisation – Trying to do everything at once leads to diluted effort and missed targets.

  3. No Accountability Framework – A great plan means nothing if there’s no one ensuring it happens.
