Read the article
→
Strategic drift happens quietly — until growth slows, teams lose focus, and plans fall apart. Learn how to spot it early and take action to stay aligned. Strategic misalignment doesn’t happen overnight, it’s a slow erosion of growth, efficiency, and competitiveness. Companies lose billions to strategic drift as execution strays from intent.

Why Strategies Fail Before Execution Even Begins
Read the article
→
Most strategies fail before execution begins because they’re built on outdated assumptions. The strategy-market gap, the disconnect between strategy and real-world conditions, keeps organizations reactive. Adaptive Strategies close this gap by continuously sensing, adjusting, and aligning execution. This ensures strategy stays relevant, enabling organizations to move faster and execute with precision.

Read the article
→
OKRs help track goals, but they don’t ensure execution success. Most fail because they assume stability, lack real-time course correction, and focus on outcomes without guiding execution. Organizations need more than static goal-setting — they need adaptive execution models that continuously align strategy with reality. Moving beyond OKRs means ensuring goals translate into real-world impact.
