The essential first step in your strategy execution journey

Are you struggling with making your strategy clear across your organization? Finding it difficult to turn big-picture thinking into measurable goals? You’re not alone. According to Harvard Business Review, 67% of strategies fail due to poor execution.

This playbook is your crucial first step in successful strategy execution – focusing specifically on Step 1: Articulating your Lean Strategy as highlighted in our Strategy Execution Playbook. Before defining OKRs, you need a clear, focused strategy that separates essence from noise.

What This Playbook Offers:

This playbook bridges the gap between having a strategy and making it work. It provides a step-by-step approach to ensure your strategy is ready for OKRs. Written by strategy and OKR experts from the OKR Mentors Collective, this guide addresses two critical challenges:

  1. Creating a strategy that’s clearly understood at all levels of your organization
  2. Translating strategy into measurable goals that connect to individual contributions

Many organizations rush into OKRs without first ensuring their strategy is solid. This playbook helps you pause, reflect, and refine your strategic vision before implementing a performance management system. By doing this groundwork, you’ll create more powerful, aligned, and consistent OKRs that truly drive your business forward.
