There are numerous books, articles, and podcasts on strategy, and with each passing day, new perspectives on strategy development and deployment continue to emerge. Yet, one of the most common pitfalls in strategy formation and execution is that it is often treated as a one-time annual event rather than an ongoing process that demands continuous iterations, revisions, improvements, and strong governance. A recurring theme that surfaces during informal conversations with leaders is that the real challenge lies not in planning but in execution. A structured process, supported by robust governance, is critical to success. This is precisely what author Gopal Sharma emphasizes in his book, Mastering Strategic Excellence: Your Success Guide to Growth & Profitability Using the Balanced Scorecard. Drawing from his extensive experience as a practitioner, Gopal Sharma addresses the challenges by showcasing how the Balanced Scorecard can be effectively deployed across sectors—including Infrastructure and Engineering, service and other sectors at the enterprise.
