The importance of having a strategy stack

Creating a strategy stack is crucial for organizations to have a clear direction and ensure alignment. The stack includes a long-term vision, a mid-term aim, short-term outcomes, and a prioritization tool. These components work together in a looping manner, allowing for adjustments and adaptations over time. Regular conversations and revisions are key, with the stack serving as a guide for decision-making and focus. By implementing a strategy stack, organizations can avoid the pitfall of strategy becoming a disconnected exercise and instead foster a strategic mindset throughout the organization.
