The Strategy Execution Advantage
From vision to front-line execution — align every decision and action with what matters most.
Traditional consultants charge six figures (or more) to build slides.
The Strategy Execution Advantage delivers continuous alignment, on-call decision support, and the means to finally enable every person in your organization to “be more strategic,” for a fraction of the cost.

Nearly all clients are confidential due to NDA requirements; references are available by request.
Why Strategy So Often Fails in Execution
Traditional tools like costly offsites and long strategic planning decks and docs don’t actually change behavior.
Leaders achieve “alignment” in the board-room, but then don’t translate the strategy into what teams need to actually execute.
Teams wind up stuck in inefficiency, with unclear priorities, and the frustration of: “How can we do more than we’re already doing when we’re already under water?”
Those high-effort strategic plans often crumble when the operating environment shifts.
If somewhere between 67 and 90% of well-formulated strategies fail due to poor execution, how can you ensure yours is on the right side of that equation?
You don’t need more strategy, or another plan. You need a decision-making advantage that actually holds when reality happens.
Operate More Strategically…
…Even During “Business Unusual”
I help CEOs, C-suite leaders, and their Chiefs of Staff (and force multipliers):
✅ Drive measurable results on important and difficult human-impact outcomes.
✅ Reduce wasted effort and both free capacity for and upskill team members for higher-value work.
✅ Build lasting ownership, accountability, and more strategic behavior that sticks.
This is not consulting or executive coaching “as usual.”
It’s an ongoing advantage in how your organization executes.
How The Strategy Execution Advantage Program Works
Why This Approach Outperforms Traditional Strategic Planning
✅ Organizations that implement structured decisionmaking frameworks consistently outperform their peers — including achieving higher financial results (source).
✅ 95% of CEOs report that implementing specific, clear accountability practices increase confidence in strategic plan achievement (source)
✅ Connected Strategy and No-BS OKRs were specifically developed to address the real strategy-execution blockers I’ve observed among 2,000+ leaders and force multipliers in 300+ organizations worldwide.
I don’t deliver you just a “plan.”
Together, we’ll build useful tools to embed more strategic thinking, decisionmaking, and efficiency into your organization’s ways of working—until it sticks.
Research shows that executive coaching is associated with significant progress toward self-set goals; and, adopting new behaviors.

Cancel Anytime. No Long-Term Obligation.
I don’t believe in lock-ins, so if after a month you don’t see progress in clarity, alignment, and execution, you walk away. No penalty.
The Strategy Execution Advantage includes a level of service and support that has traditionally been reserved for six-figure engagements OR required a mid five-figure onboarding commitment.
I am so confident about the practices and value this offer provides, that I’m making it available for you on a month-to-month basis. Stay as long as your participation is driving progress for your team. Transition to a lower-cost “maintenance mode” for lightweight support once your team is meeting independent operation benchmarks. Or leave if the program stops being useful, or you get what you need from it. It’s that simple.

Meet Sara Lobkovich
Strategic Planning Facilitator, OKR Facilitator, Author
Sara is a strategy coach, OKR activist, professional speaker, advocate for workplace inclusion and strategy democratization, and author of You Are a Strategist: Use No-BS OKRs to Get Big Things Done.
As a former "frustrated changemaker" who struggled to get strategic insights heard in traditional environments, I know exactly what it's like to see how things could be better but lack frameworks (and authority) to make change happen.
That's why, as a strategic planning facilitator, I've designed practices that specifically benefit change-maker CEOs and COOs, Chiefs of Staff, and force multipliers who are tired of being the ones who see the problems—and are ready to become the architects of solutions.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
Our process adapts to your size, structure, industry, and culture. This offer has been deployed and proven in a wide range of organizations, with on average:
3-4 levels of leadership
200-2,500 employees (and in select cases, divisions of larger enterprises with 5,000+ employees)
Privately-held, for-profit organizations (and divisions of Fortune 500s) in the $50m-200m revenue range.
I generally don’t work with publicly-held companies, and this program benefits organizations focused on improving outcomes other than merely increasing revenue or cutting expenses. Typically, I work with organizations focused on:
improving human outcomes (e.g. health care, education);
improving customer and product experiences; and
adjacent technology organizations
… where improved financial performance results from improving the experiences people have with the organization and its products.

Depending on availability, special pricing may be available for mission-aligned qualified B-corps and non-profit organizations.
If that’s you, apply for a spot while the application window is open (no obligation!), and I’ll share discount information if your organizatino qualifies.
-
Instead of a one-off strategy deck, you get an embedded partner. I’m there for you when you need me, in the moments decisions are made, ensuring strategy sticks in daily execution.
-
Perfect. Most of our clients have tried OKRs, V2MOMs, or similar systems. We strengthen what’s already in place, making it actionable and sustainable.
-
Far less than you think. Some leaders spend as little as 90-180 minutes per month in live, structured sessions, plus quick on-call support as needed. The ROI comes from reduced wasted effort, not added workload.
-
No. It’s month-to-month. Stay only as long as it’s producing value for your organization.
-
You can begin with Tier 1 (C-suite only) and expand access later. (Many clients do exactly that — it’s great for aligning the approach to your culture before implementing at scale.)
If you’re not ready for a month-to-month engagement, some smaller one-time services may be available, depending on my client load. You can find information about those services here; then please reach out to inquire about current availability.
