When making a strategy and a plan to execute, the list of things to do may seem long and daunting. In addition, the lack of clarity of the inter-dependencies between tasks makes it harder to prioritize. Gaining clarity is not always cost effective or even possible.
As a first step, accept that it will take time to gain clarity on many of the tough issues that are barriers to executing strategy. Then, gain clarity on the ambiguity, i.e. list all the topics around which the organization is struggling to gain clarity.
Use your common sense and experience to select the first item to work on and get started. Everything is interconnected, so you will eventually cover all the interrelated parts. Its more important to gain consensus with your customers, stakeholders, partners and teammates about the sequence to follow, than to spend time discovering the 'right' sequence. Start small to control risk and improve using experience.
