Most strategic planning is a company scavenger hunt. Three days in a conference room. A whiteboard full of plans. A document that’s long, vague, and that nobody reads until next year’s planning session.

So I’ve thrown that out. In its place: Sprinting to Success. A 7-step playbook for getting things done faster, better, and fool-proofer. It’s the same approach I use with clients whose company revenue grows 100% of the time, year after year.

Marathons take planning. Sprints take action. Speed breeds clarity. And clarity is what your team needs if it’s serious about getting things done.

🎧 Press play. Lace up the sprinting shoes.

In this episode:

▶ Why strategic planning sessions produce documents nobody reads
▶ The marathon-vs-sprint metaphor for company execution
▶ Step 1: Pick one problem (not five, not ten, one)
▶ Step 2: Decide on a Decider (17 opinions, 0 decisions is the alternative)
▶ Step 3: Build a time-boxed team of 3-6 people (no passengers)
▶ Step 4-7: Start with the end, make progress visible, prototype/test/iterate, celebrate briefly and move on
▶ The single sprint topic test: if it takes more than two sentences, it’s not clear enough

If your team is great at meetings and bad at getting things done, this one’s for you.
