2. Assumptions for Effective Strategy Execution
 Words or terms have different meanings to different
organizations and even to individuals in the organization.
Consequently, the terms used to coordinate the actions of
multiple individuals should be agreed to up front with a
dictionary that gets distributed.
 Results and the methods used to achieve a strategy should be
clearly defined and differentiated. Results are what
stakeholder's need and expect, but Methods can and should be
changed based on learning, constraints, and environmental
influences.
 Collaboration is critical to the success of most strategies and
collaboration requires conditions that foster trust.
 Violated expectation are the primary cause of mistrust.
Expectations should be agreed to upfront and measured when
possible.
