In this episode of Brave New Leaders, I explain the concept of cascading strategy within an organization using the "Playing to Win" strategy cascade framework developed by former Procter & Gamble CEO A.G. Lafley and management thinker Roger Martin. The framework consists of five components: winning aspirations, where to play, how to win, capabilities, and management systems.

I demonstrate how this framework can be applied at different levels of an organization, including departments, functions, and teams. I like to adapt the terminology to better align with specific contexts. For example, "where to play" can be modified to consider relevant stakeholders and the products/services offered to them. Similarly, "how to win" can be rephrased as "how to add value" when applied to departmental strategies.

You’ll get practical insights on aligning daily operations with the overarching business strategy. Leaders can effectively communicate, visualize, and implement strategies throughout their organizations by leveraging the Playing to Win strategy cascade.
