Steve explains how strategy can often feel overwhelming, but IARs simplify the process by establishing strategic patterns that make execution a habit. By ingraining strategy into everyday operations, teams can be proactive, align actions with goals, and track progress effectively. Tune in to learn how IARs can streamline strategic planning and lead to better outcomes.
