“A strong strategy starts with knowing the challenge, landscape, and
what’s needed to succeed. Just as a mountaineer defines a summit,
aligns team goals and assesses terrain, weather, skills, gear and risks
before an ascent.”
Where do we want to go?
What does success look like?
What to consider?
Assess goals and environment.
Choosing
the direction
What to do but especially
not to do to get there?
“An effective strategy is built by exploring all options, managing risks,
and planning for key decisions along the way. Just as mountaineers
don’t just pick a route and go for it but carefully consider the best route
and key decision moments to summit based on conditions, resources
and team capabilities.”
Executing
the route
Who will do what and
by when to get there?
“Execution isn’t static, nor is strategy - it’s a continuous cycle of
disciplined action, assessment, and adaptation to reach the goal
successfully. As a mountaineer is executing according to plan and
continuously evaluating new info to decide on pushing forward.”
