Bridging the Gap Between Strategy & Execution
Introducing the Howwe Way of Working – a proven growth methodology making your strategy and business plan come alive, facilitated by an Enterprise Execution Software.
Strategy and execution are deeply intertwined, each vital and neither effective without the other. Their interdependence is at the heart of our methodology, emphasizing focus, simplicity and adaptability across the organization. This approach consists of four components that together bridge the gap between strategy and execution. Learn about more below!
The first two components, Most Important Goals and Company Initiatives, form the strategic part of our methodology. They answer the questions of WHAT we aim to achieve and HOW we aim to achieve it.
90% of strategic initiatives fail in execution – Most due to lack of prioritization
Most Important Goals is the art of prioritizing. Exceptional execution begins with narrowing the focus—pinpointing what must be achieved above all else. You can’t be everywhere at once, and without this focus, other accomplishments lose their significance. This discipline also delves into how to align goals within a hierarchical structure to maintain focus as you move outward.
Identify your Most Important Goals
Most Important Goals represent the top priorities for any team in your organization – bringing clarity to strategy.
Align top down
Starting with prioritization at the top of your organisation. Most Important Goals are then broken down to every function, department and team – ensuring organizational-wide alignment and creating an understanding of what to focus on, for all.
Bring transparency to execution
Most Important Goals represent the top priorities for any team in your organization – bringing clarity to strategy.
The Enablers – COMPANY INITIATIVES
Company Initiatives is about enabling your focused goals with the most efficient and effective tactics. There are countless paths to the same destination, but it’s crucial to chart the most direct course. Overloading on initiatives can dilute resources and blur focus. The key is to select a few high-impact initiatives and nurture them with the full force of the organization’s resources.

PROGRESS ALL WEEK; EVERY WEEK
The third and fourth components, Key Activities and Acceleration Meetings, form the execution part of our methodology. They answer the questions of what we DO in order to focus our efforts and how we sustain change and maintain momentum over time.
Be relentless about the Key Activities
Key Activities is about identifying your high-impact actions. It’s based on the principle that a small number of activities will drive the majority of your results. It’s essential to identify these high-leverage activities and focus your efforts there.
Share your progress
To make sure you make progress on your Key Activities to reach your Most Important Goals, a focused meeting a week is all you need.
We call these Acceleration Meetings – they only take 15 minutes.
Stay commited to your goals and actions
Acceleration Meetings is about fostering a culture of commitment and propelling real change.
Visualize your progress
It’s a team process that brings to light the successes and failures, enabling course correction and continuous improvement. It’s about creating a rhythm of accountability and progress, driving the organization towards its Most Important Goals.

We learned the hard way that having too many goals prevents you from doing anything. It's simpler to work with a small number of goals and actually achieve them, that's why I started with the Howwe Way of Working.

I often compare Howwe with a magnet. We have a number of compass needles and we need to align them in the same way to get the force needed to drive change. That's one of the key success factors to make growth sustainable and how we accelerate growth with Howwe.
