Throwback to the two million man march for Abacha of 1998, a campaign rally surreptitiously organized by the government to transmute Gen Sani Abacha from a military to a civilian dictator. Nigerians have always been hungry and stupid. It no start today.

90% of companies fail to execute their strategy.
Here is how the top 10% actually deliver:
Let me introduce a powerful tool:
The Strategy Pyramid.
Originally shared by Wendy McGuiness (2011):
It breaks strategy down into 9 essential pillars, grouped into 3 key levels:
Purpose, Strategy, Execution.
A) Purpose
1) Mission
Defines why the company exists.
It’s your reason for being.
2) Values
Your guiding principles:
How decisions are made and what you stand for.
3) Vision
Where you’re going.
The future you’re building.
B) Strategy
4) Strategic Intent
Big-picture goals and how you plan to reach them.
5) Drivers
The levers that will move your business:
Growth, innovation, efficiency, etc.
6) Enablers
The resources and capabilities:
Tech, people, capital - that make strategy happen.
C) Execution
7) Targets & Initiatives
Clear actions and measurable goals.
8) Performance Indicators
Track what matters.
KPIs that show real progress.
9) Strategy Map
Make the strategy visible.
Ensure everyone’s aligned.
Together, these 9 components help you:
i. Define your purpose
ii. Build a real strategy
iii. Execute it successfully
All three levels matter.
Miss one, and the whole thing breaks.
P.S. Are you giving strategy the attention it deserves?
