About Start Less, Finish More
Start Less Finish More is a systematic approach for building strategic agility in your organization. Drawing on insights from neuropsychology and historical anecdotes, Daniel Montgomery outlines why overly detailed and complicated strategic planning approaches are not working in a world of increasing uncertainty and complexity. He presents a detailed set of practices for building an agile strategy management system—a simplified, continuous process of strategic thinking, planning, execution, and learning. In particular, the book focuses on objectives and key results (OKRs), a planning method pioneered at Google and other Silicon Valley tech companies and spreading to service businesses and government agencies. OKRs are an easy-to-learn, fast goal-setting process that builds agility, strategic alignment, and employee engagement.
