Strategy is the sexy part of business that everyone loves to talk about. But it’s execution that actually gets the results.
Every CEO, CRO, and CMO has watched brilliant plans crumble in the hands of teams that couldn't bridge the gap between boardroom vision and market reality.
The strategy wasn't flawed. The execution was.
In this edition of ELEVATE Pulse, we're confronting the execution gap head-on.
From frameworks that systematize complex B2B sales to real-world stories of turning vision into impact, we're exploring what separates leaders who plan from leaders who deliver.
Because in the end, your strategy is only as good as your ability to execute it.
The Strategy Illusion: Why Execution Decides Who Wins
Strategy looks impressive in the boardroom, but if it delivers nothing in the market, you won’t make the progress you’re responsible for.
67% of well-formulated strategies fail due to poor execution.
In complex B2B sales, success demands more than strategic thinking. It requires proven frameworks and disciplined processes that turn intention into results.
So ask yourself: Does your team have the capacity and capability to execute at scale and fast?

Mike Boonnak, one of ELEVATE’s team members, saw a gap in Thailand's basketball scene. He could've just talked and dreamed about it.
Instead, he built something.
Like complex B2B sales, taking a dream and turning it into reality requires relentless focus on execution. The same attention to detail. The same refusal to let vision die in planning sessions.
Mike's story is about what happens when you stop strategizing and start building.
Tony Robbins is an undeniable master of business success.
With over 100 businesses across his portfolio and billions in annual sales across multiple sectors, Robbins is worth listening to when he talks about execution.
His message cuts through the noise: Knowledge is only potential power. Execution is the real power.
You can know every framework. Read every book. Attend every conference. But if your team can't execute, you have nothing.
