FULFILLING STRATEGY IS FOR YOU…

You’re an intentional leader who wants to:

 

  • Significantly improve execution of strategic initiatives

Hello!

I’m Adriana McLane, and I created the Fulfilling Strategy platform because I’ve learned in my work as a growth strategist, it’s not enough to help clients create a brilliant growth strategy.  My clients are smart, and they know what to do, but execution can be tough.

You have audacious goals to achieve.

My job is to help you create the clarity, capacity, and team engagement essential for fulfilling these big goals.

THE PRINCIPLES OF FULFILLING STRATEGY

Make Strategy Meaningful

Strategy must be meaningful in how it fulfills the organization’s purpose, in how it creates value for customers, and in how it resonates with employees responsible for executing the strategy.

Create More Capacity

Make the space and time needed to work on strategic initiatives by aligning priorities and continuously eliminating or revamping activities that create drag on the organization.

Measure What Matters

Identify those few key drivers that are essential to achieving the big, strategic goals and implement the right operating rhythm to measure progress and foster a culture of accountability.

HOW IT WORKS 

Making Strategy Meaningful

Connection to the organization’s purpose is essential to gaining the employee engagement required for high performance.  Strategies should be grounded in an organization’s purpose and translated into meaningful goals for those responsible for their execution.
