What Will Your Business Look Like in 90 Days If You Start Executing Today?

We’ve All Been There: The Strategy Is Solid—But the Movement Is Missing

We’ve sat in boardrooms full of excitement. Everyone’s aligned on the mission. The vision is clear. The strategy deck is solid. We walk away energized and hopeful.

But a few weeks later, reality kicks in. Daily tasks pile up. People are “too busy” to follow through. Priorities shift. Strategy fades into the background.

Does this sound familiar?

You’re not alone.

According to Bridges Business Consultancy, only 10% of organizations actually execute their strategy. That means 90% of good plans don’t turn into action. Not because the strategy was bad—but because execution failed.

And let’s be honest. We’ve seen it happen too many times.

The Problem Is Not Planning—It’s Follow-Through

Every company we’ve worked with had some version of a strategy. Some were rough sketches. Others were 100-slide presentations. But in all of them, the challenge wasn’t defining what to do. The real struggle was how to do it consistently.

Let’s break down the usual barriers we’ve observed:

Too many goals: Everyone’s trying to do everything at once.
No short-term focus: People chase long-term goals without quick wins.
Unclear ownership: No one knows who’s truly in charge of delivering results.
Lack of rhythm: There’s no routine to track progress, solve blockers, or realign teams.

So how do we fix this?

The answer is simple—but powerful:
Focus for 90 days. Create movement every week.

That’s how we build execution momentum through our STRIDES™ Framework.

We Created STRIDES™ to Turn Strategy into Daily Reality

The STRIDES™ program is our signature approach to help organizations move from strategy into execution.

One of its most powerful phases is called “Implement with Impact.” It’s where we introduce the habit that changes everything: combining 90-Day Action Plans with a Weekly Execution Rhythm.

This combination has worked across industries—from retail to manufacturing to service companies. It works whether you’re a growing team or an established firm stuck in stagnation.

Let us walk you through how we do it—and how you can start applying it too.

Part 1: Why 90 Days Is the Sweet Spot

Most companies create annual plans—and forget them by March.

We prefer 90-day execution cycles. Here’s why:

It’s long enough to accomplish something meaningful
It’s short enough to stay urgent and focused
It gives you a chance to pause, review, and reset quarterly

We’ve seen 90-day planning help companies go from overwhelmed to aligned.

Instead of tackling everything at once, we encourage teams to pick 3–5 strategic priorities for the next quarter. These aren’t just vague goals like “grow revenue.” They’re specific, measurable, and owned.

For example:

Launch version 2.0 of a digital product
Reduce customer service response time from 48 to 24 hours
Train all team leads on new performance tools
Open a new branch in the south by June 30

These priorities become the core of the 90-day plan. Then we help teams break each one into milestones.

Part 2: The Power of Weekly Execution Rhythms

Once the 90-day plan is in place, we establish a Weekly Execution Rhythm.

This is a short, focused check-in—usually 25 minutes—done once a week. It’s where the real magic happens.

Every week, the team answers three questions:

What progress did we make this week?
What’s off-track or blocked?
What are we committing to do next?

We’ve found that weekly rhythms do something strategy documents never can: they make people accountable in real time. Not out of fear, but out of commitment to the team.

This rhythm also exposes issues early—before they snowball.

No more waiting until the end of the quarter to realize nothing got done.

What Happens When You Combine the Two

When we implement both tools—90-Day Plans and Weekly Rhythms—companies move faster and better. Here’s what we’ve seen time and again:

✅ Momentum Builds Quickly

Short-term milestones give teams quick wins. Those wins build confidence. And confidence fuels progress.

✅ Alignment Gets Stronger

Everyone knows what the company is focused on, and how their work contributes to it. It’s no longer “my task” vs. “the company’s goal.” It becomes one.

✅ Decisions Speed Up

When you meet every week, issues get addressed fast. You don’t have to wait for the next town hall or monthly review.

✅ People Step Up

With clear ownership and regular check-ins, leaders emerge. Teams don’t wait to be told what to do—they drive initiatives forward.

A Real Example: Manufacturing Firm in Laguna

One of our clients, a mid-sized manufacturing company in Laguna, had a solid strategy on paper. They wanted to improve delivery times, reduce complaints, and boost morale.

But after six months, progress was nonexistent.

We worked with them to define 4 clear priorities for 90 days. Each had assigned milestones and owners. Then we introduced a 25-minute weekly check-in with the leadership team.

What happened?

Complaint resolution time dropped by 50%
Customer satisfaction scores went from 3.4 to 4.2
On-time delivery rose from 70% to 92%
Team morale shot up—because people saw that their work mattered

Their COO later told us:

“We didn’t realize how fast things could change until we started meeting every week with focus.”

This wasn’t a fluke. This is what happens when strategy becomes execution.

How You Can Start Right Now

You don’t have to overhaul everything to get started. Here’s a simple STRIDES™-style playbook you can use immediately:

Choose 3 top priorities for the next 90 days
Define 2–3 milestones for each priority
Assign clear owners to each milestone
Set up a weekly 25-minute check-in
Track progress visually—a shared document, board, or dashboard works great
Celebrate wins. Remove blockers. Repeat.

The key is consistency, not perfection.

What STRIDES™ Gives You in This Phase

If you’d rather have expert support while building this rhythm, that’s where we come in.

Here’s what we provide in the Implement with Impact phase of STRIDES™:

A facilitated 90-Day Planning Workshop
Custom Execution Playbooks
Templates for Weekly Check-Ins
Coaching for team leads and project owners
Progress dashboards and visual tools
On-call support for when things get stuck

Our goal is to build execution momentum you can sustain—even after we leave.

Why This Works

We created this system because we’ve been in your shoes. We’ve seen great strategies fall flat because there was no rhythm. We’ve watched teams burn out chasing goals without checkpoints. And we’ve helped companies turn it around.

We’ve realized one truth:
Strategy without execution is just a wish.

But with 90-day focus and weekly rhythm, that wish becomes a result.

We don’t just give advice—we walk with you. Until things move. Until wins are visible. Until your people feel like progress is possible.

So, What Will Your Business Look Like in 90 Days?

Imagine your team hitting its goals.
Imagine seeing visible progress on your top priorities.
Imagine leaders stepping up and blockers getting solved fast.
Imagine a culture that doesn’t just plan—but actually delivers.

It’s possible.
And it can start this week.
