Open Strategy Works! Are you a native or a decorator?
summary
Claim: opening strategy shifts actual decision power from gatekeepers to teams, not just optics. Evidence: a financial firm’s agile switch creates a 50/50 decision split that forces negotiation and some rollback; orgs report 90% of strategy processes score below 5. Tools and practices: backlogs, descope/unmess, PI‑planning style alignment, intent‑and‑contribution reconciliation and delivery alignment. Outcome: one‑week bootstrapped alignment conversations prove feasible and useful in practice though governance tradeoffs sometimes require partial reversal.
