Problem

You are advising a company where day-to-day execution is pulling attention away from longer-term strategic work. Leadership wants a clear way to decide what gets done now, what gets delayed, and what must keep moving even when short-term targets are under pressure.

Question

How do you balance short-term goals with long-term strategic initiatives?
