Execution Gaps – Where Momentum Dies in the Wake

Ideas are easy. Follow-through creates lift.

Execution Gaps, or Base Drag, appear when projects start but never finish. Energy launches forward but leaves turbulence behind.

Common signs include abandoned initiatives, untracked goals, or enthusiasm fading after the workshop. The strategy looks active – but results lag.

In LIFT, this touches all three Pillars:
• Purpose through Discipline – doing what you said you would.
• People through Capability and Trust – delivering together.
• Process through Alignment and Consistency – monitoring progress and learning fast.

Closing the gap means building habits that sustain momentum: clear milestones, visible accountability, and a rhythm of reflection and review. Completion becomes cultural, not accidental.

When organisations learn to close loops, trust builds, focus sharpens, and performance compounds.

Ask yourself:

What have we started that hasn’t yet landed – and what would it take to finish well?
