True North Results Paradigm
Actionable Strategy
Unrestricted Execution
Informed Transformation
The True North Results Paradigm encompasses the core disciplines in which businesses need to possess proficiency. While flexible and adaptable, these disciplines and their order comprise an operating model which drives differentiated results.
Two beliefs are central to our approach.
- Strategy, execution, and transformation are strongly interdependent and most effectively implemented when properly sequenced. Organizations are simultaneously engaged in all three practices as it isn’t feasible to drive progress in a single-threaded manner. However, we need…
- Clarity from strategy to formulate the highest priorities of the organization—without it the benefit of execution is significantly diminished.
- The results from execution efforts—without those there is no roadmap for transformation.
- Improving capabilities realized from transformation initiatives—without them the next iteration of strategy is not leveraging the company’s full potential.
- Any approach to organizational improvement must account for human capabilities, their potential and their limitations. The True North Results Paradigm is comprised of a set of disciplines aimed at creating the conditions to reap the most from a firm’s collective abilities while avoiding the pitfalls of the modern workplace.
