Structural Pattern 02 of 05
The strategy says one thing. The backlog says another.
Research on strategic alignment consistently finds many work items have a dubious connection to strategy — and it often goes unnoticed until a quarter's gone. Here's the 4-week process to make the connection explicit and keep it that way, self-guided.

What the 4-week program covers
01
Make the disconnections visible
Strategic Alignment Mapping — place your objectives, roadmap, and active work in one view and let the gaps speak for themselves.
02
Define the vision and surface the obstacles
A Speedboat session — name what's really holding alignment back.
03
Root causes and solutions
Current Reality Tree + 5 Whys — trace why the gap keeps reopening.
04
Build the improvement backlog
Define what success looks like, and the structure to sustain it.
What you walk away with
✓
A single-view map of strategy vs. actual work — a working artifact, not a slide.
✓
The real root cause traced, not guessed at — why alignment keeps drifting.
✓
A working mechanism that keeps the connection visible past the workshop.
✓
Session-by-session facilitation guides — run it yourself, no consultant required.
Why $195?
A fractional operator engagement runs $10K–$20K a month — call it $500–$1,000 for a single day. This is the same structured process, self-guided.
