Course Description

Understanding your organization as a system is critical to success and sustainability. Your business success is not merely having a goal, a direction, a vision. It is the ability to change, to create the process, the organization, the capabilities and culture, that result in performance. This course is a roadmap that will enable you to successfully execute strategy.


  • "Engaging and enlightening. Larry's wealth of experience allows you to easily apply the subject matter to the real world." Neil Shaw

Note: Now included is the complete ebook Getting to Lean - Transformational Change Management. It is attached to lecture 4. 

Business Strategy Execution is a hot topic in management today. The Conference Board's recent Survey of CEOs revealed that chief executives are so concerned about strategy execution that they rated it as both their number one and number two most challenging issue.

Why does strategy execution so often fail? Because most strategic plans are little more than a series of vertically integrated objectives. But, the problem is not objectives and it is not vertical. It is the "whole-system" and its ability to adapt and align, internally and externally in fast cycles. In other words, to be agile. The problem is the culture and capabilities of the organization and a process to design and deploy those capabilities. This course provides that process and is based on forty years of experience improving the performance of organizations.

The problem is developing new capabilities and a new culture that will enable the organization to achieve its goals. The term "Agile" implies an iterative process of experimentation, learning, adaptation to the changing environment, and alignment with other business units and support groups. This course is about creating that agility, adaptation and alignment.

Every organization has capabilities that are embedded in the culture. This course will take the leader through a process of assessing the current culture, its assets and liabilities, sensing the changing landscape that presents threats and opportunities, and then engaging the organization in the design of those processes and systems that will represent competitive advantage.

  The author of this course is the author of ten books on leadership, lean management and change process. This course includes the text and material from three of his books.

For four years he worked to redesign the prison system by establishing the first free- economy behind prison walls, where each inmate had to earn points, maintain a checking account, pay rent and pay for everything he desired. It resulted in measurable improvements in behavior. This was his first organizational transformation.

The course had great points and lots of resources. The structure itself is a bit weird

By Leboneng Bonny Modise on 1/2/2026

recently consulted for a company that needs all the lessons I have listened to so far in this course. The "Culture" is the root-cause. The leadership is trying very hard to not change even though the company was founded 32 years ago. The apartheid vibes are dominating the board decision making. as a forensic auditor who was developing Policies and Procedures for them I had to keep most of what I observed to self, and stick the "Terms of Employment" for which after 6 months I was told There is no money to keep my services, as they will get back to me when they do have money. Everything I observed and witnessed though was more of a learning curve for me, and I will take the experience to my other clients as I grow, thus the registration for this cause. My next client, I sure will be content and ready from when I write my Proposal to get the client to sign up with my company to assist them with Good Governance.....

I got a lot of useful information out of this course that I can and plan to use in management. It is a long course, hence the 4 stars instead of 5, but it is thorough and I plan to take another course of his.

Excellent course. Solid, useable information without a lot of the hype that is so prevalent in strategy materials. Really enjoyed the integration of history into the discussions.

By Franziska Eichler on 10/21/2020

I have finished about 15 courses on Udemy in the past six months before getting to this one, and I am extremely grateful to Mr Miller for providing such a fantastic, comprehensive, well-made, well structured and insightful course! I absolutely loved every second of it and can more than recommend this course to anyone who wants to get a deeper insight on how to implement agile strategies and principles into an operation - and all it takes to get there. Looking forward to taking more courses by this wonderful teacher. Thank you!
