The primary reason I added Metronomic’s and Shannon Susko’s 3HAG Way to my coaching tools was to help my customers improve their strategy.
Most leaders don’t have a good understanding of what strategy is. Many find it a challenge to confidently articulate their strategy.
Research shows 50% of executives don’t think they have a winning strategy.
In Metronomics, the Strategy System’s purpose is to take a complex strategy and create a clear, simple, and understandable strategy the whole team can explain and use to make decisions.
The Strategy System progression ensures the leadership team collaborates to create the most differentiated, confident strategy for your business.
This level of cohesiveness of the team is important to create the most impactful strategy.
The key difference in how a strategy is created through the Metronomics Repeatable Playbook is the prescriptive step-by-step method allowing the whole team to build up your strategy together, validating it every step of the way, to create and maintain confidence.
The foundation of the Strategy system and the glue that holds the Metronomics Repeatable Playbook together is the 3HAG. This is the stepping stone, the evolution vehicle, that connects the strategic execution plan to your cohesive and culturally strong team.
Shannon’s second book, 3HAG Way, provides a step-by-step, prescriptive method of how to create your 3HAG in greater detail.
Carl Saunders Former CEO of Vorum
I was a “stuck” CEO when I found myself literally begging for Shannon’s help to implement Metronomics in my company. For years at Vorum, we had maintained the status quo but failed to achieve the substantial growth I was looking for.
After our two-day kick-off and starting regular coaching sessions with Shannon, there were some massive shifts I noticed right out of the gate.
The first was goal setting. I am a person who delivers on my commitments. Being specific about what we would achieve in years two and three of this system made me incredibly uncomfortable. What if we didn’t hit it? What if we didn’t do what we said we were going to do?
The fiscal benefits of hitting this goal were obvious, but I could never have anticipated the cultural implications. It lit a fire under our company and unlocked our thinking in unprecedented ways. Everything clicked after that, and our growth took off. We added more A-players to our team and became even more specific with our goals and forecasting.
Each quarter, we would just keep pounding on our strategy, which got more compelling as our cohesiveness enhanced and our team came together with aligned thinking about the market and how to differentiate ourselves.
While Metronomics helped launch Vorum on a high-growth trajectory, it also was instrumental in achieving another strategic priority with great success: my CEO exit and the sale of our company. With this system in place, my transition out was accomplished in six months, rather than two years. Because I was no longer involved in the execution of the company. Our use of the Open Playing Field Software (Metronomics Software) was also essential for showing predictable historical performance, which helped immensely for the company’s valuation.
What other way is there? Without a system like Metronomics, you’ll continue to bump along as you have been. If your company isn’t growing, your best people aren’t growing or getting new opportunities, and they won’t stay. At some point, you need a strategy for growth. And there’s no better method for growth than the Metronomics system.
