Only 30% of strategies succeed during execution

A small select group of organizations consistently turns strategy into measurable results.
Their advantage is the systems that translate ambition into disciplined performance.

To understand what separates these organizations, OKRmentors, in partnership with WorkBoard and Profit.co, analyzed execution practices across 200+ organizations worldwide as part of The Global State of Strategy Execution.

The pattern was clear: organizations with mature execution systems are 57% more likely to exceed financial goals and achieve outcomes 83% faster than their peers.

These insights shaped the Strategy Execution Maturity 360™ Pack — a modular, evidence-based toolkit that helps leaders assess execution maturity, benchmark where they stand, and prioritize the actions that accelerate results.

What Is SEM360™?

SEM360™ is a structured assessment framework that evaluates how organizations execute strategy in practice — across teams, systems, and leadership behaviors.

SEM360™ is built on insights from over 200 senior leaders across 30 countries, captured in The Global State of Strategy Execution 2025, translating leadership challenges into actionable insights. It doesn’t just reveal performance gaps; it highlights the systems and habits that separate top-performing organizations from the rest.

The assessment is built on a clear execution maturity model, defined across the five interconnected dimensions of strategy execution.

Who is SEM360™ for?

SEM360™ is designed for leaders and teams responsible for turning strategy into measurable results — especially when execution depends on alignment across functions.

CEOs and executive teams building an operating system for predictable delivery
Strategy / Transformation leaders driving alignment, cadence, and execution discipline across teams
Operations / PMO / Portfolio leaders improving visibility, accountability, and decision speed

If you’re responsible for execution performance across teams, SEM360™ helps you benchmark maturity and identify where to focus first.

A Global Leadership Perspective

SEM360™ is built on insights from over 200 senior leaders across 30 countries. Their experience, captured in The Global State of Strategy Execution 2025, revealed what separates top performers from the rest.

Strategy Execution Leaders align faster, collaborate better, and sustain impact through clarity and rhythm. Your SEM360™ Pulse Report benchmarks your organization against these Global Leaders to show you how to reach them.

The Five Dimensions of Strategy Execution

Strategy execution excellence requires mastering five interconnected dimensions simultaneously. Our research with 200+ organizations reveals that top performers outperform others by 20-30 points across every dimension.

The SEM360™ Assessment measures your organization’s maturity across these five dimensions. The three core dimensions — Align, Execute, and Improve — form the foundation for turning strategy into action. The two amplifiers — Scale and Empower — extend that impact across the organization.

Your SEM360™ Pulse Report reveals your performance in each dimension and highlights where to focus first to strengthen your execution maturity.

Align

Creates shared understanding of priorities across the organization. When teams know the “why” and “why now” behind objectives, everyone pulls in the same direction.

Scale

Helps successful practices spread across the entire organization. Strong governance, training, and systems ensure that what works in one team can work everywhere.

Execute

Turns plans into measurable outcomes through clear ownership and rhythm. Weekly reviews, defined accountability, and quick problem-solving keep everything moving forward.

Empower

Empowers teams with autonomy and real-time data. Teams that focus on outcomes instead of tasks make faster decisions and deliver better results.

Improve

Creates a culture of continuous improvement. Retrospectives happen every cycle, lessons get documented and shared, and each iteration builds on the last.

The Strategy Execution Maturity Spectrum

Most organizations score between 40-70 on the maturity index (57%), while only 11% are Strategy Execution Leaders . Another 13% struggle with basic practices, scoring below 40. This distribution shows a clear pattern: basic strategy practices are common, but the discipline to execute consistently separates the few from the many.

The SEM360™ Assessment reveals exactly where your organization falls on this spectrum across the 5 dimensions of Strategy Execution and what to focus on to move closer to execution excellence.
