What Is a Minimum Viable Strategy?

Dan Montgomery is the founder of Agile Strategies, a boutique OKRs firm, and the author of Start Less Finish More.

Dan states the old strategic planning model of predicting and then controlling needs to give way to sensing and responding, and he calls that agile strategy.

In this conversation, he hit on many fascinating concepts:

• limitations of The Balanced Scorecard
• executing vs formulating strategy
• the retreat to cozy mental models
• the fit between OKRs and agile strategy
•  multicausal systems
• minimal viable strategies
• STEEP framework
• Platonic values
• Cynefin framework
