In today’s fast-paced and complex environment, many small-to-mid-sized organizations are facing a strategic dilemma. They understand the importance of long-term planning and data-driven decision-making—but struggle to find the time, capacity, or expertise to develop and implement an actionable strategy.

Bâton Global’s Strategy Sprint offers a practical and high-impact solution. Designed specifically for organizations seeking clarity, alignment, and momentum, the Strategy Sprint is a guided, 10-week experience that equips leadership teams with the tools and insights needed to chart a compelling path forward—without derailing day-to-day operations.

A Structured, Yet Flexible Journey

The Strategy Sprint is built around a series of focused, facilitated sessions that unfold over 10 weeks. Each phase is designed to be time-conscious—requiring just a few hours per week—while delivering depth and value. The journey begins with an initial assessment, where teams examine their past performance and existing strategy culture. From there, the process moves into purpose-setting, visioning, and environmental analysis—ensuring a clear understanding of both the internal capabilities and external forces shaping the organization’s future.

During weeks four through eight, organizations begin shaping their strategy through structured conversations around customers, finances and resources, internal operations, technology, and team growth. The Strategy Sprint leverages the balanced scorecard framework to ensure comprehensive coverage of key organizational dimensions.

Strategy Meets Insights

A key differentiator of Bâton Global’s approach is the integration of data throughout the process. In week nine, organizations work closely with facilitators to build a performance dashboard—ensuring that goals are directly linked to measurable outcomes. This not only enhances accountability but also provides leadership with a clear view of progress and priorities in real time.

The final session brings all elements together in a cohesive and implementation-ready plan. This includes identifying dependencies, resolving potential misalignments, and confirming organizational commitment to next steps.

Deliverables That Drive Impact

By the end of the Strategy Sprint, participants receive a set of high-value deliverables that serve as both a roadmap and toolkit for execution. These include:

  • A refreshed purpose, including mission, vision, and values
  • An insight overview highlighting key decisions and insights
  • A complete balanced scorecard with performance metrics
  • A data dashboard to track progress
  • Project templates and an implementation guide

This combination of depth, data integration, and practical tools makes the Strategy Sprint an ideal solution for organizations looking to move forward with confidence and clarity.
