Five habits of strategies that actually get delivered

Why good plans stall — and simple habits that keep them moving.

Start with a few clear choices

A strategy is a set of choices, not a list of everything you would like to do. Three to five clear priorities are easier to fund, explain and deliver.

Give every priority an owner

Each priority needs one accountable leader, a budget and a timeline. Shared ownership often means no ownership.

Measure what matters

Pick a small number of measures that show real progress and review them every month, not once a year.
