The strategy existed. Ownership didn't.
The situation
The strategy had been written by a small group and presented to the rest. It was good. It just wasn't theirs.
The tension
The leadership team defended the strategy externally and postponed it internally.
What was at stake
A year of momentum if it was owned — or another year of reporting if it wasn't.
The play
Two sessions where the group could not quote the strategy, but had to rebuild the reasoning behind every choice.
The experience
Some choices did not survive the group's own test. They were changed. The rest suddenly became theirs.
What changed
Three strategic choices were adjusted, and the leadership team began using them to argue their own decisions.
"It was the first time in years everyone in the leadership team said something that mattered."
