About the Author

Jim Gitney has over 45 years of operating experience in corporate America and as the CEO of Group50® Consulting. He learned his trade with companies such as GE, Stanley Black & Decker, Sunbeam and over 200 companies ranging from startups to multibillion dollar publicly traded companies during the last 18 years of consulting. He has held positions in leadership his entire career. He has been on boards of directors, in the C-suite and managed manufacturing, marketing, engineering, quality and a host of other functional organizations. During that time, he always saw that a lack of strategic alignment and agreement throughout the organizations he worked with as well as poorly executed technology and business processes were always the common denominator to failed strategies. Jim created the Business Hierarchy of Needs® in 2013 and has used it as the framework for designing and implementing strategy with great success since then. Strategy Realized – The Business Hierarchy of Needs® is his effort to collect the key learnings from the last 45 years and share them with you as a step-by-step process for turning strategy to results.

Editorial Reviews

My first comment is that, as someone read the book intently, this person would feel pretty confident to embrace the development and implementation of a business strategy on their own.... Just following the recipe! Your work is thorough, meticulous, methodical and is based on real world examples and experiences. This makes it super valuable and reliable.

I think your book and content is brilliant and will be greatly received. You succinctly identify typical issues that companies face, and you bring an outstanding process to assist them in achieving future success.

Excellent Read. I think this has legs and would be useful not only as a framework for executives working on their strategic plan but also as a framework for consultants to develop a prescriptive approach to strategy development and implementation. It is a tool for providing a common ground to discuss gaps in a company's strategic plan with their actual implementation.... This is the secret sauce in a successful strategic planning consulting project.... This book fills a need.

For those in the non-profit space, your presentation style is easily translated and your model fully applicable. I appreciate you cutting the lessons down to concise points as I have also found that to be an effective communication tool to leadership, so the topic doesn't overwhelm due to the sheer magnitude of strategic plan development. I have to say, you have given away your secret sauce. What a pleasure it was to read!
