Welcome to the team, Chase—we're elated to have you!

Clarity of purpose fuels progress, and our FY26 Company Kickoff was centered on just that. Today, we took a moment to step back and focus on the big picture: ✨ Who we are – revisiting our Mission, our Vision, and our Values. 🔍 Where we’ve been – reflecting on FY25 wins and lessons learned. 🧭 Where we’re going – aligning on FY26 North Star metrics and how every team contributes. 🎯 How we’ll get there – hearing from departmental leaders on their Q1 objectives and vision for the year ahead. Mix in some team breakout sessions, celebrating promotions, and a little music talk (bangers only 🎶 ), and the tone has been set for an incredible year ahead. Time to execute. #strategicplanning #companykickoff #strategyexecution #alignment

Does your team measure success by outcomes—or just by tasks completed? If it’s the latter, you’re not alone. And prioritizing what’s important over what’s merely urgent requires a mindset shift that starts with leaders. In Edition 38, Brooks Busch dives into how to balance the urgent vs. the important and covers things like: ✅ 3 questions every Strategy and Operations Leader needs to ask to regain focus. ✅ Why organizations fall into the urgency trap. ✅ Shifting from to-do lists to outcome-driven work. ✅ How to balance being dynamic without saying “yes” to everything. Great tips and reminders as we head into 2025. Welcome to The Pulse. #strategicplanning #prioritization #strategyexecution

How's everyone's planning coming along? 🤠

What was the #1 challenge that kept your team from hitting big objectives in 2024? It probably wasn’t effort. Everyone’s working hard. It was *most likely* alignment. Cross-functional misalignment doesn’t just create headaches—it can derail major objectives, from launching a new product to hitting revenue goals. That’s why 2025 needs to be the year we get serious about creating structure for how teams collaborate and execute. In the first Pulse edition of 2025, we’re diving into three tactical ways to help your team stay aligned and focused this year: 1️⃣ Anchor your strategy with Themes. 2️⃣ Create shared commitments to prioritize cross-team work. 3️⃣ Use proactive reporting to turn updates into action. Because great strategies don’t live in silos—they thrive on shared collaboration. Happy New Year, and welcome to The Pulse.

Bad day to be a dessert at Elate.

In our final Pulse edition of the year, we’re tackling a make-or-break topic for achieving next year’s goals: Setting Rituals for Results. At Elate, we define Rituals as the agreed-upon rhythm, cadence, and process for reviewing your strategy. 💡 Because here’s the gist: Without intentional rituals to review, discuss, and take action your strategy, even the best-laid plans can (and will) fall into the trap of static dashboards and endless task lists. Edition 36 covers: ✅ How to build an operating rhythm that sticks  ✅ The top pitfalls to avoid with strategy reviews ✅ Why rituals are the secret to transforming plans into outcomes And as we close out 2024, we want to thank you for being part of this community.
