The Strategy Deployment Process
How to Cascade the Plan, Run the Rhythm, and Deliver Your Number
ForthcomingFourth on the shelf
The plan was signed in December. By June nobody could say which initiative was red.
That is the lost year, and most companies have one — a good plan, a board that approved it, and no rhythm underneath it to turn the signature into the number. The Strategy Deployment Process is the rhythm: policy deployment stripped to what a CEO with a number to hit actually needs. Cascade the plan one level, with the boards below. Run the month in ninety minutes, on the third Wednesday, with a pre-read nobody skips. Put a bowler on every initiative, a countermeasure within five days of a red, and a quarterly review that says hold, adjust or kill out loud.
The book runs on one company — Tamarack Cold Systems, three plants and a parts-and-service business, $190 million, a board that wants $34 million of EBITDA in three years — from the day the new CEO inherits the lost year to the day the number lands.
And the idea underneath it: a year gives you eleven chances to catch a miss before it becomes the number. Most CEOs use none of them.
