Most companies spend September and October planning for 2027, but
they skip the part that actually matters: figuring out how their
teams will execute on it. That's why we're revisiting this
episode with Dr. Chuck Bamford, who walks through how to align
strategy from the boardroom all the way down to compensation
plans, daily activities, and the conversations your reps have
with customers. He covers what separates strategy that gets
executed from strategy that sits on a shelf, and why most
execution failures have nothing to do with the strategy itself.
If you're mapping out your revenue goals for next year, this
episode is a must-listen before you finalize your plan.

Dr. Chuck Bamford is the Managing Partner at Bamford Associates
and an adjunct professor of strategy at both Duke University's
Fuqua School of Business and the University of Notre Dame's
Mendoza College of Business. He's worked with more than 170
organizations to design and implement strategy that actually
drives behavior, and he's the author of many books, including
The Strategy Mindset 2.0.

fall apart the moment it hits the sales floor.

instead of the ongoing discipline it needs to be.

KPIs into the specific daily activities their people actually
execute.

18:40 – The mistake many CROs make when compensation plans
quietly undermine everything their strategy is designed to
accomplish.

dramatically changes how your teams sell.

decks but comes alive in the three-foot conversation between your
