Strategy → delivery: bridging the gap

The gap

Strategy becomes real when it turns into choices: what we will do, what we won’t do, and what must be true for success.

A translation workflow

This converts strategy from narrative into an executable system.

• Define the measurable outcomes (not activities).
• Surface assumptions and risks early.
• Create an initiative map with dependency logic.
• Sequence delivery to learn fast and reduce risk.

Implications

When leaders can’t see the dependency logic, delivery becomes politics. Make the logic explicit and the system becomes calmer.
