How We Transformed Strategy and Aligned the Company
summary
Vasco consolidates 300 scattered projects into a single strategy on a page, trims the active list to about 30 items, and runs three company-wide planning events per year. Alignment lives in one strategic board inside Jira with an upstream/downstream split, a hierarchy from strategic projects to epics, clear ownership and a priority scale 100-500. Results: visible timelines, near-total transparency and fewer initiatives, and the system is working though discipline remains the hardest part.
