Does this sound like you?
I’m working harder than ever—but not getting ahead
I keep fighting the same fires
My team is busy, but not paddling in the same direction
I’m carrying the business in my head
I’m drowning in day-to-day minutiae and have no time to think strategically
I don’t know if we’re winning
I’m tired of guessing what to focus on and which decisions will move us forward
I’m missing opportunities because I’m stuck in the weeds
I’m exhausted from making every decision
I keep dealing with the same problems over and over again
What Is the North Star 2-Page Strategic Plan™?
-
Your entire business strategy and operating plan—captured on two pages. It’s the ultimate clarity tool for founders who want alignment, focus, and results.
-
Page 1: The Big Picture
Your 10-Year North Star Vision, Core Values, Purpose, and 3-Year Waypoint—all on one page. This defines where you’re going and why.
-
Page 2: The Operating Plan
Your 1-Year Goals, Quarterly Big Rocks, and prioritized solutions to your Risks, Issues & Opportunities (RIOs). This is the roadmap for execution.
Identify what’s broken. Stop guessing. We uncover your real problems—your points of dissatisfaction—and validate them on the floor with your team.
Bridge the gap. Define your future state and build a plan that connects where you are to where you want to go—intentionally.
Be intentional with your actions. Stop living day-to-day without direction. Plan with purpose. A 2-page plan turns scattered effort into focused execution.
Solve your problems—then grow. Fix what’s broken first, then set the stage for sustainable growth with clear priorities.
Align your team. Drive efficiency. A simple plan gets everyone on the same page, reduces wasted effort, and boosts engagement.
Stop missing opportunities. When you’re stuck in the weeds, growth stalls. A clear plan frees you to focus on what matters most.
Protect your energy. A simple, visible plan reduces decision fatigue and keeps you out of the hamster wheel.
Track progress, not motion. Daily wins roll up to quarterly objectives and annual goals—so you know you’re moving the ball down the field.
Make accountability visible. Print it. Post it. Live it. Two pages your team can reference in 10 minutes.
Execute with confidence. No more guessing. Every decision ties back to your vision and strategic priorities.

North Star* Operating Model
The governing logic behind how your business is run.
This seven-point model reflects how high-performing organizations operate when clarity, accountability, and execution become a way of life. It becomes the driving force and mindset that aligns leaders, teams, and strategies to your guiding North Star.
Strategic Vision & Planning
Set a clear 10-year vision, annual goals, and quarterly objectives. This guiding North Star ensures all decisions, actions, and strategies are aligned, providing meaning, direction, and accountability across the organization.
Talent Optimization
Ensure you have the right people in the right seats. Define clear roles and responsibilities, and align your team’s capabilities and capacities with your company’s growth objectives. This involves visualizing current and future organizational structures for maximum effectiveness.
Process Improvement & Efficiency
Define and document core processes, assign maturity levels, and invest in elevating these processes as needed. Transparent, repeatable, and scalable processes are essential for removing inefficiencies and supporting growth.
Risk, Issue, and Opportunity Management (RIOs)
Continuously identify and prioritize risks that threaten your business, root-cause issues that need resolution, and opportunities for growth. Use this comprehensive list to set actionable plans each quarter, ensuring proactive problem-solving and opportunity maximization.
Maturity Model Elevation
Assess the maturity level of each core function (e.g., finance, HR, IT) and determine the steps needed to elevate these functions to meet scaling needs. Classify maturity levels from 100 (Ad-Hoc) to 500 (Optimized) to systematically improve capabilities and capacities.
Organizational Alignment & Accountability
Foster organizational alignment through accountability, clear communication channels, and structured decision-making processes. This ensures sustained progress towards goals, enabling leaders to focus on strategic growth while improving daily operations.
Performance Tracking & Measurements
Implement dashboards to track key performance indicators (KPIs) weekly, monthly, and quarterly. Accurate data allows for informed decision-making and timely adjustments to stay on course towards achieving long-term goals.
