Most leaders don’t struggle because they lack ideas — they struggle because everything feels noisy. Too many priorities. Too much reacting. And the painful part is you often only find out you’ve missed the month when the month is already over.

Strategy in Practice (S1.1–S1.10) is a complete LeadershipX Business (LXB) series designed to fix that — with a simple, boardroom-ready system that turns strategy into weekly execution.

Across 10 lessons, you’ll build your strategy from the ground up:

Understand the real difference between strategy and tactics
Map your market properly — segments, demand drivers, and who you’re really for
Analyse competitors in a way that changes decisions
Choose your competitive advantage (how you win)
Write positioning so clear customers repeat it back
Lock in trade-offs (what you stop doing)
Put it all into a one-page strategy
Build KPI trees (leading vs lagging) so you spot issues early
Create a 90-day execution plan with owners, dates, measures
Finish with scenario planning (best/worst/expected + triggers) so you don’t get surprised

This is not theory. Each episode produces an output you can use immediately in your business, your leadership role, and inside LeadershipX.

What You’ll Walk Away With (Clear Outcomes)

By the end of the series, you’ll have:

A defined primary segment + demand drivers

A Strategy on a Page you can run weekly
KPI trees with leading indicators + trigger rules
A 90-day execution plan (owners, dates, measures, cadence)
A scenario pack (expected/best/worst + triggers + actions + risk controls)
