Strategy was a document written in January and forgotten by March.
Pinnacle had three directors, each running a business unit. Annual planning produced a 40-slide strategy deck with OKRs and KPI targets. By June, nobody remembered what the targets were. The board review in December was the first time anyone looked at whether the company had achieved what it set out to. Two consecutive years of missing revenue targets were attributed to market conditions — but no mid-year correction had been attempted because nobody was tracking performance against the plan.
Strategic health visible every week. Corrections made in time to matter.
Pinnacle set up the Strategy module at the start of the financial year. Each director owned three OKRs. KPI targets for revenue, utilisation, OTD, and customer satisfaction were entered and connected to operational data. By month 3, the scorecard flagged that one business unit's OTD was trending below target. The director intervened — reassigned two engineers and renegotiated one milestone — and recovered the metric before year-end. The annual board review became a 20-minute walkthrough of a live scorecard rather than a 4-hour retrospective.
