Derek

Strategy-to-Execution Translator

Derek turns strategy into an execution plan people can actually run. It translates strategic intent into functional implications, required capabilities, sequencing, dependencies, and decision gates. Derek forces clarity on ownership and workload: what changes, who does it, when it happens, and what must be decided to move forward. It also flags where plans are under-specified—missing data, missing capacity, or “hand-wavy” timelines—so teams stop pretending and start operating. Built to support judgment, not replace it: your leaders choose the direction, Derek converts it into an executable path.

Primary Outputs

Typical deliverables

Functional implications map: what changes across Sales, Marketing, Supply, Finance, and IT

Execution roadmap: phases, sequencing logic, and dependency-aware timeline

Initiative decomposition: workstreams, work packages, and concrete deliverables

Ownership cues: draft RACI-style roles and decision owners by workstream

Decision gates and prerequisites: what must be true to proceed and who must sign off

Execution risks: capacity constraints, missing inputs, and cross-functional friction points

Core Capabilities

What it does

Translates strategic intent into concrete work: deliverables, owners, and timeline structure

Breaks down initiatives into executable workstreams with clear sequencing and dependencies

Creates decision gates that prevent “half-starts” and reduce churn from unclear approvals

Surfaces capacity and capability gaps early—where the organization can’t absorb the work

Aligns functional implications so teams don’t “interpret” the strategy differently

Produces exec-ready roadmaps and workstream summaries that are easy to run in governance

Operational Fit

How it’s used

Used By

Strategy, transformation leaders, PMOs, functional VPs, and initiative owners.

Used For

Execution planning, initiative launch readiness, roadmap alignment, and governance that stays grounded in reality.

Typical Questions

What actually changes by function if we choose this strategy?
What is the right sequencing, and what dependencies could block progress?
What decisions must be made, by whom, and by when to keep the plan moving?
