The execution gap
Leaders find it challenging to focus on the most business-critical initiatives and ensure they are completed on time.
Employees are eager to contribute, 82% want to, but often lack clarity on what matters most. And the initiatives that matter most are cross-functional, so progress stalls the moment teams work in silos.

Customer success story
Riksbyggen turned the annual strategy into an actionable plan,
resulting in profitable growth.
For 86 years Riksbyggen has built and managed homes across Sweden, now a SEK 10 billion business. For most of that time, one annual plan was enough. Then the world started moving faster than the plan could. Leadership only saw the results at year-end, long after the moment to change them had passed.
The challenge
Clear plans. Murky execution. By the time the results landed, the moment to change them was already gone.
The shift
One annual plan became one shared rhythm: a short list of priorities, a named owner on each, and live visibility into what actually moves.
The result
Now the signals arrive early, while there is still time to act. Fewer surprises, sharper decisions, stronger results.
“A CEO never wants to be surprised. You always want to know in advance how the plans are progressing.”Johanna Frelin, CEO, Riksbyggen
12 months → 1 quarter
Time from decision to measurable financial impact. A slipping revenue target was caught in Q1 and back on plan by Q2, resulting in millions in earned profit.
Owned and on time
Every priority now has a named owner and a deadline, so work stops sliding and actually gets finished, quarter after quarter.
1 → 10 → 200 → 2,300
One CEO, ten leadership team members, around 200 leaders and 2,300+ employees, all pulling on the same priorities.
Customer success story
Salbohed turned decisions into
execution, revenue and profit.
Salbohed is a civil engineering and groundworks company with four subsidiaries and operations across the Nordics. In a fast-growing business, the question is rarely whether there are good ideas. It is whether the most important initiatives actually get done.
The challenge
The leadership team spent its time reporting from each business area, while the bigger initiatives lost momentum between meetings. It had become a reporting forum, not a place for shared strategic decisions.
The shift
With Howwe, the team defined the company’s most important goals, prioritized the initiatives and set clear ownership, backed by methodology, intelligent software and ongoing advisory.
The proof
Their ISO certification became the first big initiative run the new way: many functions, clear dependencies, and one shared view from decision to done.
“The biggest impact on our revenue, profitability, and the way we operate comes from adopting an execution mindset and consistently delivering on our company initiatives.”
Revenue & profit
The company initiatives Salbohed now prioritizes and executes are the ones that move revenue and profit.
Faster to impact
Goals, initiatives, milestones and key activities run in one rhythm, so decisions turn into execution and measurable financial impact faster.
Value realized
Every company initiative now has clear owners and runs from goal to key activity, so the value it was built to create gets captured.

FAQ
Strategy execution, answered.
What is strategy execution software?
Strategy execution software helps a leadership team translate strategy into the goals, initiatives, milestones and key activities that actually get done, with clear owners and real visibility. Instead of a plan that lives in slides and spreadsheets, execution becomes a shared, weekly rhythm.
Why do most strategies fail in execution?
Because the strategy is clear at the top but fades on the way down. Only about 51% of executives, and as few as 13% of employees, can name their company’s top business-critical initiatives (MIT). The most important initiatives are also cross-functional, so progress stalls when teams work in silos.
What is the execution gap?
The execution gap is the distance between a clear strategy and what actually gets done. Leadership often sees the results only at year-end, not whether the right things are happening early enough to change the outcome. Howwe closes the gap with a shared execution rhythm, clear ownership and early signals.
How is Howwe different from OKR software?
OKR tools mostly track goals. Howwe combines advisory, a proven method and intelligent software, so the leadership team not only sets priorities but executes them, with senior advisors involved and software that flags risk and financial opportunity before momentum is lost.
Who is Howwe for?
Howwe is built for CEOs and management teams who need the whole organization aligned on the few business-critical initiatives that create the most financial value, across every function and team.
Does Howwe integrate with our existing tools?
Yes. Howwe connects with the tools leaders already use, including Power BI, Tableau, HubSpot, Salesforce, Jira, monday.com, Microsoft Teams and SAP.
Is our data secure?
Yes. Howwe is GDPR-compliant with EU data hosting, role-based access control and encryption in transit and at rest. See our compliance page for details.
