The Strategic Execution Framework (SEF)

The Strategic Execution Framework® (SEF) is a powerful management model that is used to align your critical initiatives with your organization’s strategic objectives. This model was developed jointly by IPS and the Stanford Center for Professional Development and is a key feature of IPS’s leadership 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.

Turning these challenges into opportunities requires innovative thinking and new strategies. And project-based work is how these strategies get converted into results. Research at Stanford University over the past ten years has shown that improved project performance is a function of orchestration and alignment. Key, familiar aspects of a business—six overlapping and interdependent domains—must harmonize to create the next level of achievement. This white paper describes how to make that happen.
