Layer 01
Strategic Direction
Your evergreen north star. These elements rarely change — they anchor every decision.
Vision
The change you want to see in the world — your ultimate destination.
Mission
What you do, for whom, and why it matters — your reason for existing.
Core Strategic Insight
Your founding “aha” — the gap or opportunity you saw that others missed.
BHAG
Big Hairy Audacious Goal — a bold 10x ambition that stretches you beyond incrementalism.
Economic Drivers
The key ratios or metrics that tell you if you’re financially healthy and able to scale.
Values
Core principles you stand up for and refuse to compromise on — they guide trade-offs.
Layer 02
Strategic Signals
What’s changing around you and inside your organisation. Update this as you learn.
External Opportunities
New funding, policy shifts, tech developments, partnerships, or community needs you could leverage.
External Threats & Risks
Funder changes, competitor moves, regulatory risks, political shifts, or emerging challenges.
Internal Strategic Insights
Patterns you’ve noticed, unexpected results, new capabilities, or discoveries from recent work.
Layer 03
Strategic Sprints
Time-boxed projects (1–3 months). Keep max 3 active. Each should link to your Direction and Signals.
💡 Ideas Backlog
Free-flowing list of potential sprints. 20–30 ideas are fine.
🔥 Doing Max 3
Active sprints this quarter. Include owner, timeframe, and which Direction/Signals it connects to.
✅ Done + Learnings
Completed sprints with key takeaways. What did you learn? What comes next?
