Does this sound like your situation?

This is for you when…

Many actions are discussed at a strategy meeting, but the goal itself has not been clarified.
The owner's personal wishes take the place of what the business needs.
You need to connect everyday work with the overall strategy.

Why watch

What will become clearer

Why it is important to understand the purpose of a strategy session before holding it.
How the goal, parameters, principles, strategy, and specific actions connect.
Why you need to keep returning to this connection instead of stopping at a document.

From watching to applying

What to do after the lesson

Examine one goal of your business and the parameters through which you understand it.

Look at the principles that guide progress toward it.

Take one current task and check how it relates to the strategy.

A question about your own situation

Why is this task needed for this particular goal?

The questions and actions after watching were suggested by the catalog’s editors. They are neither quotations nor the author’s original assignments.

An important distinction

A meaning to preserve

The connection between goal, principles, strategy, and tasks provides a basis for examining decisions. As the author specifically notes, describing it does not in itself guarantee a result.

Check your expectations before choosing

What you should know

Not a ready-made strategy for your company or a promise of revenue growth.

Follow the connections

What it connects with

Editorial connections between ideas: where to turn for another perspective. These are not required prerequisites.
