Is your business strategy failing to deliver results? In this episode, Brad Jeavons breaks down the Strategy and Cultural Planning System — the essential framework for business leaders who want to build a high-performance culture, drive sustainable productivity growth, and achieve real business transformation.
Drawing on the latest Reserve Bank of Australia productivity data from June 2026 and the new book Leading Enterprise Excellence by Butterworth, Jeavons, Ray and Dargan, Brad reveals why most strategic planning fails and what to do instead.
In this episode you will learn why Australian productivity is in negative territory and what leaders must do now, the two levers of organisational productivity — optimisation and innovation — and how to build a strategic planning system that actually executes. Brad also covers how to define your culture through ideal leadership behaviours, how to use SWOT analysis and the XY Matrix for strategic focus and core competency development, and how to align strategy and culture from the boardroom to the frontline.
This episode is essential listening for CEOs, senior leaders, operations managers, continuous improvement practitioners, HR and organisational development professionals, and anyone leading business transformation in Australian or global organisations.
Coming up in this series: Strategy and Behaviour Deployment, plus real-world examples from Michelle Thomas of BHP and Matt Oakley of Farah.
