STRATEGY FOR LEADERSHIP TEAMS Topics and questions to shape an event brief. 1. Diagnose before you prescribe. For founders, business owners and leadership teams examining a recurring business problem. Discussion question: Which problem are we solving, and what evidence would change our view? Explore the BSI method of seeing the problem, choosing an approach and testing assumptions before a bigger commitment. 2. A strategy or a list of targets? For teams with competing priorities and limited resources. Discussion question: Which actions work together to overcome the obstacle, and what will we stop doing? Explore how diagnosis, a chosen approach and coordinated action give targets a practical route. 3. Test before you commit. For teams preparing to invest in a chosen strategy. Discussion question: Which assumption could make this strategy fail, and how can we test it on a small scale? Connect a strategy to evidence, ownership and implementation over 30, 60 and 90 days.
