Strategic Execution Framework (SEF)

Our strategic consultants will show you how to use this invaluable tool to translate your business strategies into effective results.

The Strategic Execution Framework® (SEF) is a powerful management model that will help you ensure that your critical initiatives are on track to achieve their intended results.

This model was developed jointly by IPS and the Stanford Center for Professional Development and is a key feature of the Stanford Advanced Project Management program curriculum. The SEF model—with its new “INVEST” acronym—is also featured prominently in the book Executing Your Strategy: How to Break It Down and Get It Done, published recently by Harvard Business School Press. Organizations use the SEF to improve their ability to effectively accomplish strategic initiatives and achieve desired results by:

  • Investing resources more wisely across their entire portfolio of projects and programs
  • Leveraging a powerful set of monitoring and management tools and techniques
  • Helping individual managers get more done through better leadership skills


IPS helps organizations use the Strategic Execution Framework to develop systems solutions to getting project work done. We offer a unique set of skills and expertise that enable you to use the SEF to convert strategies, ideas, and plans into action, including our increasingly popular Strategy Execution Mapping workshops.

We enable organizations to realize their strategic goals and achieve bottom-line business results by rapidly evolving their ability to complete projects, programs, and portfolios of projects effectively. In the process, we dramatically increase morale and productivity, and maximize the return on resource investment.
