We are excited to welcome Alex Clemente, former founding Managing Director of Harvard Business Review Analytic Services, as Director of the CovQ Center for Intelligence, Strategy and Execution (CISE).
Alex spent two decades at Harvard Business Review, including 16 years building and leading Analytic Services into a respected source of research on the issues that shape business leadership, organizational performance, and strategic decision-making. Previously, he served as Senior Vice President at The Economist Group for CFO magazine (now CFO.com).
At the CovQ Center (CISE), he will help set its direction and serve as a public voice and thought leader for the CovQ ecosystem. His focus will be the practical connection of intelligence, strategy, and execution, so that management teams can outperform and develop compounding leaders.
The appointment formalizes a collaboration already underway. Alex Clemente and his team at HBR Analytic Services produced the report “Mastering Value Creation by Centering Strategy and Execution” in association with CovQ. Alex also presented the findings at the report’s launch event, which has since evolved into The Compounding Loft.
With this appointment, CovQ by @8w8Com builds on its momentum to equip organizations for the fast track to excellence and compounding enterprise value.

This one has been a pretty fascinating discovery over the last six months: we used music and creatives as the example, but the method applies to business building and investment whenever logic, AI, knowledge, and human judgement are connected and synchronized for the better:

Unbiased point of views in here
This excellent @vistage Research and Insights report is a must-read on the problem we developed the CovQ value creation management platform for:
... "Although strategic plans are increasingly common, many CEOs have watched their plans fall flat. According to research from Bridges Consultancy, 48 percent of businesses fail at implementing their strategic plan, with only 7 percent reporting that their organization has an “excellent” ability to implement its strategy.
“People got a little weary of strategic planning, yet there are still a lot of companies that just go through the motions,” says Michael Canic, president of Making Strategy Happen in Denver, Colorado, and author of “Ruthless Consistency.” “But there’s a hunger for execution, for making it systematic.” ...
According to the HBR (Harvard Business Review) AS report "Mastering Value Creation by Centering Strategy and Execution," companies without a value creation management platform deployed will pay a high price: 8W8.com

Thank you for the invite @HorasisOrg Asia Meeting in #Dubai #UAE. It was great to contribute to the panel "Boosting Entrepreneurship" among all the accomplished panelists and share some CovQ (Compound Value Creator Quotient) insights data and best practices in business building and value creation. Given that, according to #Gartner, only 47 % of all companies execute their strategies successfully to completion, centering strategy and execution will be the next big thing to deliver missions and plans. If anyone is interested in downloading the #HBR AS (Harvard Business Review Analytic Services) report referenced during the panel, please visit 8W8.com. The time to implement value creation management platforms has come. The compounding race is on as the future has already happened as we learned during the closing panel.
