- What actually happened?
- What can be learned from the gap?
- What actions will you take now?
- What do you predict will happen when you take these actions?

Questions like these are often used in the annual cycles of “Strategy Deployment” — often through the “Strategy A3” document format.

I hope this is all helpful to you here at the start of the year — or any time!
