Your strategy’s set. Now what?

Your strategy’s set. Now what?

You’ve launched a bold new strategy. Execs are aligned. The board’s on board. But beyond the leadership team, things are stalling.

You’ve tried the usual moves

Functional teams don’t know what the strategy means for them.

The board’s on board. But beyond the leadership team, things are stalling.

Priorities aren’t landing. And while everyone says they’re on board, few are actually making progress.

This is the moment when most strategy implementation fails. Not because the plan’s wrong. But because ownership is missing.

Most organisations still follow a top-down strategy playbook.

Leaders decide. Middle managers interpret. Teams implement.

It looks aligned on paper, but it rarely sticks in practice.

Siloed business units pull in different directions, and strategy ends up fragmented rather than building toward collective impact.

The fix: Teams are more likely to own a strategy they’ve had a hand in shaping.

That’s the IKEA principle in action. We value what we help build.

In response to significant industry changes, Symetri needed to accelerate strategic planning and spark a company-wide transformation to put customer success at the heart of the business.

Our brief? Align a distributed team on a global transformation strategy

We brought together 50 senior stakeholders from across five markets to help shape the strategy through a series of fast-paced, facilitated Strategy Sprints.

What happened? 10 teams secured board approval on functional plans—each aligned to four new strategic pillars. Within weeks, test-and-learn pilots were live across the business to start turning strategy into momentum.

Why our approach works in any industry

Why our approach works in any industry

Why our approach works in any industry

Across tech, transport, finance, law, and fast food, we see the same thing: bold strategies stall when teams don’t feel ownership.

Our approach works because it’s built around how people actually think, decide, and act.

We use behavioural science to make complex decisions feel safe and turn plans into something teams can believe in.

We help teams shape the strategy themselves so they see their fingerprints on it, and feel confident bringing it to life.

We help teams get clear on what to start, stop, and double down on so strategy becomes a set of real choices, not just a list of priorities.

Whether you’re launching a global growth plan, shifting how products go to market, or transforming internal culture, our method adapts to your context.

Frequently Asked Questions

Talk to an expert

Is this just facilitation, or do you also bring strategic insight?

We bring both. Alongside expert facilitation, we run behavioural research to uncover what’s really driving (or blocking) performance. From diary studies and ethnographic shadowing to survey design and data synthesis, we build a clear, human picture of your business reality. That insight shapes the strategy.

What do we actually walk away with?

Each team creates a launch-ready functional strategy, aligned to your top-level goals. You get a consolidated, board-ready strategy deck that captures the vision and priorities. The final roadmap includes a clear set of prioritised initiatives along with who’s accountable for delivering each one.

Will this create more noise or change fatigue?

We often hear the opposite: that our approach cuts through the noise. By involving teams in shaping the work, they feel energised, not dictated to. We reduce rework, second-guessing, and performative buy-in.

How do you keep momentum after the sessions?

We build in sponsor pitch-backs, delivery check-ins, and practical governance so ownership lasts beyond the workshops. Strategy becomes part of the team's operating rhythm, not just a one-off event.

What if some teams are resistant or disengaged?

We design the experience using behavioural science. By showing progress early, involving peer teams, and creating a safe space to shape plans, we shift mindsets and build engagement, even in teams that start out hesitant.
