What is EXEMPLEM®?
‘Execution’ is among the most discussed constructs in the world of enterprise – built into countless methodologies and incorporated into myriad logos and slogans. And yet, the conception of execution remains clichéd. Thinkers use the terms ‘leadership’ and ‘execution’ together, as if a description of what constitutes the former provides obvious description of what entails the latter. Yet others are content to describe execution as the quintessential follower and conceptual converse of ‘strategy’. These conceptions are hopelessly far from providing a realistic picture of what ‘execution’ is, and under what conditions it gets instantiated. In contrast, EXEMPLEM® provides you with a self-standing view of the ‘quality of execution’ in your organisation, and highlights facets in which you excel and dimensions in which you fall short.

Where (in which settings) should you get EXEMPLEM®?
Get EXEMPLEM® if you notice any of the following five indicators. First, execution is the favourite flogging horse in your organisation when it comes to missed performance goals; and yet, no one is able to put a finger on what the problem is at the next level. Second, the term ‘execution’ is commonplace and possibly indiscriminate in the vocabulary of your organisation; and particularly championed by leaders and opinion leaders. Third, plans and strategies consistently overreach execution, even though you are not convinced about the boldness of goals. Fourth, progress on initiatives is laboured and poor, and even employees with strong intrinsic qualities suffer. Fifth, you perceive palpable frustration among frontline employees, a sign that the enablers of execution are probably not in their place.

How does EXEMPLEM® work?
EXEMPLEM® is based on our proprietary six-part framework with the acronym SMOOTH. With EXEMPLEM®, you will undergo the four stages of ‘installation’, ‘engagement’, ‘analysis and ‘dissemination’ over a period of eight weeks. To install EXEMPLEM®, you will outline the instances that indicate poor execution quality, and earmark the subject of the research, which could be at three levels – entire units, operating teams, and individual employees. You will also identify respondents for the research, over and beyond the subjects. EXEMPLEM® will then engage with the subjects and other respondents. Statistical and qualitative analysis of inputs will adhere to the structure of the underlying framework. The research output shared with the organisation’s leadership will include quantitative outcomes as well as narratives.

When during the operating year should you get EXEMPLEM®?
EXEMPLEM® is designed for annual as well as episodic usage. EXEMPLEM® requires eight weeks for the ‘installing’, ‘engaging’, ‘analysing’ and ‘disseminating’ phases. Irrespective of whether you are using EXEMPLEM® on an annual calendar or episodically, we do not recommend a preferred timing. EXEMPLEM® does not have causal and exclusive linkages with any organisation process. Instead, EXEMPLEM® has only one demand on its usage timing: that there be a body of recently completed initiatives, from which inputs could be sought. An opportune time for using EXEMPLEM® would be prior to the undertaking of a major initiative such as an improvement project or a culture change initiative. In such times, EXEMPLEM® can provide perspectives that will help leaders decide teams and people formations.
