✅ 1. OUTCOMES (If not corrected)
- Teams work on conflicting priorities
- Wasted time, budget, and effort
- Mid-management confusion and inaction
- Execution gap between vision and reality
- Sluggish innovation, slow decision-making
🔍 2. DRIVERS (Logic Tree Structure)
| Branch | Sub-Driver | Root Cause |
|---|---|---|
| Vision | Lack of clarity | No compelling “North Star” |
| Objectives | Conflicting or vague OKRs | Teams create local goals |
| Communication | Poor alignment meetings | No cascading communication |
| Accountability | No ownership of strategic goals | Strategy not tied to performance reviews |
📌 Most Critical Root Cause:
🎯 No Cascade from Strategy to Execution – Vision doesn’t reach execution layer
🎯 3. HOW TO IMPACT THE DRIVERS (Solve in Minutes)
A. Create a One-Page Strategy Map
- 3 top goals
- Key results per goal (quarterly)
- Responsible person/team per KR
B. Cascade in 1 Meeting
- CEO/Execs present top 3 strategic goals
- Mid-level managers map their team’s activities to goals
- Set a recurring 15-minute sync biweekly
C. Integrate into Performance Reviews
- Add 1 strategic key result to each employee’s monthly report
- Tie bonuses/promotions to strategy contribution
🧩 Conclusion:
Most companies don’t fail from bad strategy — they fail from misaligned execution.
Fix it by mapping > cascading > measuring strategy flow across all levels.
