Many organizations have plans and activity, but no complete strategy foundation.
Without all four pillars — a clear identity, direction, roadmap, and measurement — decisions are made on assumptions, not facts. Growth stalls, execution drifts, and opportunities are missed.
What We Do
Haas Strategy Solutions helps CEOs and boards build the core elements every effective strategy needs. We guide your leadership team through:
-
Who are we? — A reality check on your purpose, values, capabilities, and competitive position (Diagnostics)
-
Where are we going? — Defining the choices and direction that shape your future (Strategy Cascade)
-
How will we get there? — Designing the business model, structure, and relationships to deliver (Business Model)
-
How will we know? — Creating the performance management system to track and adapt (Performance Management)
We combine proven frameworks with objective outside perspective to ensure your foundation is sound before execution.
Common Signs You May Need a Foundation Consult
-
Who are we? — Diagnostics
-
Your leadership team has conflicting views of what your organization does best
-
Mission and values are vague or outdated

Where are we going? — Strategy Cascade

Goals are set without clear trade-offs or priorities

There’s no shared picture of the future among leaders or the board
How will we get there? — Business Model
-
Revenue streams are unclear or over-reliant on one source
-
Operating model is mismatched to strategy
-
Partnerships and alliances are ad hoc rather than intentional
How will we know? — Performance Management
-
Success is measured only by financial results
-
KPIs are inconsistent, incomplete, or unused in decision-making
-
No mechanism exists to test and adjust strategy over time
