Hallmark of bad strategy: Bad strategic objectives
An impossible target with no route to it.
Need a strategy instead?
A quote can lift the mood in a room. It cannot tell your team what to do next. A good strategy is harder work, and it has three parts.
Diagnosis
Name the challenge you face. Say what makes it hard.
Guiding policy
Choose one approach to the challenge. A good policy rules options out.
Coherent actions
Commit to steps that support each other. Each one moves people, money or time.
We work with leadership teams on the hard part. We build the courses of action with you. We test each one against the diagnosis. Then we help you commit to one.
