You have laid down your mission, vision and strategy for the next three years and have linked a year plan to it. The strategic goals are clear and unambiguously formulated and are explicitly shared with the entire organization. Nothing stands in the way of the success of your organization in the coming year. That 20% sales growth, 2% efficiency increase and NPS score of 30% will come.

During the year, however, the figures lag behind the intended growth path, while the organization appears to be working hard and the collaboration between divisions seems to be in order. The management lacks steering information to put their finger on the sore spot and there are no dials to adjust the organization towards the intended result.
