Strategy Implementation Body of Knowledge (SIBoK)
The body of knowledge is designed to complement participants on the course and for leaders to guide them through their company’s strategy implementation journey. Only one in three strategy implementations are successful, and only 12% deliver long-term value over three years and beyond. SIBoK 2.0 was released in 2024 and provides updates to the course that include leveraging AI to implement it, how to implement it in the digital world, and updated references, statistics, and use cases.
Note: Anyone participating on our online course receives a complimentary electronic copy of the SIBoK 2.0.
The SIBoK guides you to close the strategy implementation skills gap in your organization. Structured around our propriety Strategy Implementation Road Map (SIR)©, it is packed with easy-to-adopt tools, best practices, external articles, references and video links. You can use it as a reference to implement your strategy by going to the color-coded sections you need and/or to support you in completing our online course.
As co-founders of the Strategy Implementation, Antonio Nieto Rodriguez and Robin Speculand bring you the Institute’s body of knowledge in support of leaders who want to successfully implement their strategy.
