Really creative framing of connecting the dots from Lagging Business Impact Goals ($) to Leading & Lagging Outcomes via a North Star metric.

I know I’m in the minority on this, but personally, I believe you need to start with *strategy*, then set metric goals (Leading to Lagging) to measure the effectiveness of that strategy.
