You know your business, you have developed your team and you have a shared values, shared vision across your organization. Tactically things are working well. But when it comes to strategy, how do you make sure your broad ideas turn into real revenue and organizational success? How can you hit a home run?

A fun approach is to think through all the options and ferret out the one key deliverable that would ensure the project will work. This takes some mental energy to develop the "what if" scenarios and see what the inside "pin" looks like. It's like making a strike in bowling, hitting the right pin at the right angle and right speed ensures a strike. You don't have to worry about all the pins, just hit the key pin correctly.
