01The Challenge
The company had established its mid- to long-term strategic direction. The management team still needed to answer: which battles will truly determine the outcome in the years ahead? Where are the most critical gaps? Which moves must functions advance together, and who will own them?
02Our Approach
The engagement did not begin by cascading targets. It returned first to strategic ambition, market shifts and critical gaps. The management team identified the battles it had to win, then defined key moves, measures, ownership and staged action — while working through differences in judgement and cross-functional dependencies.
03What Emerged
As discussion moved from broad direction into concrete choices, real differences emerged. The team had to decide what mattered most, what not to do for now and which challenges could no longer be solved by one function alone.
04What the Team Took Forward
Three days of work produced a first set of critical battles, key moves, measures and ownership. More importantly, strategy shifted from the judgement of a few into action the management team understood, chose and owned together.
