From Strategy Deck to Operating Reality

Strategies don’t fail in slides—they fail in the handoff to reality. The fix is a simple four-step loop:

Diagnose. What’s the real constraint—focus, incentives, resourcing, or ownership?
Design. Choose the few priorities, map roles and decision rights, define the scorecard.
Drive. Run the cadence weekly. Remove blockers. Make the work visible.
Transfer. Hand the system to the leaders who’ll own it and keep the rhythm.

Do this and you’ll see the two signals that matter: cycles tighten and outcomes become predictable. Everything else is theater.
