Closing the strategy to execution gap: An honest discussion | MEL

03 Jun 2026

The executive dialogue brought together senior leaders, operators, Chiefs of Staff, and strategy and transformation professionals to discuss the growing gap between strategic ambition and execution. Against the backdrop of rapidly evolving AI capabilities and rising expectations from boards, shareholders, and analysts, the conversation examined the challenges organisations faced in turning strategy into measurable outcomes.

Drawing on Australian productivity research commissioned by monday.com, the discussion explored key barriers to effective execution, including slow decision-making, fragmented tools, information gaps, duplicated work, and misalignment across teams. The session provided a candid, peer-led forum for leaders to share experiences and practical perspectives on improving alignment, accountability, productivity, and strategic execution.
