Tennessee-based Firm Sees Growth through Strategy Execution Coaching Program

FINDLAY, OHIO – June 2, 2009 — Six Disciplines announced today that it has added Tennessee-based AmeriStride to its nationwide network of business coaching organizations that offer the Six Disciplines® strategy execution program to its clients. Six Disciplines is unique in the burgeoning industry of business coaching because of its completeness, which involves the synergy of a repeatable business-building methodology, accountability coaching, an execution software system, and a shared community to accelerate organizational
learning.

“Six Disciplines is the only program that offers a complete approach extending from the corner office to front line personnel. It includes the technology to easily monitor and measure the progress from a management and coaching perspective. As the coach, I receive alerts and status reports, just as our clients do. No time is wasted on updates. Our efforts are focused on achieving a sustainable growth path by reviewing the execution progress and its impact on business performance. At the end of the day, it is about results; the Six Disciplines framework of strategy formulation, goal setting, initiative planning, leadership training, and 360 review process keeps strategy, policies and professionals aligned and focused on the target,” said Terry Massey, Partner with AmeriStride.

“Forward-looking CEOs are starting to understand their biggest challenge is not what they think it is,” said Gary Harpst, founder and CEO of Six Disciplines. “They’re finally figuring out that it’s all about the balance of strategy and execution. AmeriStride understands the tremendous opportunity ahead of them with Six Disciplines, and because of their expertise and proven success, we’re excited to welcome AmeriStride to our coaching network.”
