The Missing Piece Between Strategy & Results | Execution is What Creates Lasting Enterprise Value

Why do so many companies invest millions in strategic planning but never see the results they expected? In this episode of The Value Factory Podcast, Andrew Ballard sits down with Joseph Thompson, CEO of Target Tech and former Army officer, to explore the gap between strategy & execution, and why closing that gap is one of the biggest opportunities for business leaders today. Drawing from decades of leadership experience in both the military and business, Joseph shares why urgency often crowds out what matters most, how CEOs can protect their time for strategic thinking, and why discipline consistently outperforms talent when it comes to building enterprise value. In this episode, you'll learn: Why most strategic plans fail during execution The difference between urgent work and important work How CEOs should think about creating long-term enterprise value Why accountability and operating cadence matter more than another planning session How AI can support execution without replacing leadership If you're a CEO, founder, executive, or business owner looking to build a stronger, more valuable company, this conversation offers practical insights you can apply immediately.
