What should we focus on now?
There’s no shortage of commitment. There’s no shortage of ideas. There’s no shortage of people. What’s missing is a single decision: what to let go of.
Every list of 20 priorities is, in reality, a list of things that no one dared to let go of. Every OKR implementation without this decision provides the illusion of control over chaos, but it doesn’t eliminate it. Every strategic meeting without this decision ends with a new list of initiatives, not a new direction.
During this sprint, we don’t ask what’s important. We ask what the ONE priority is for the next 30-90 day – and what needs to be consciously set aside, with a rationale that can be defended in front of the entire team.
How can you tell if this is the problem?
- Your priority list for this quarter has more than 5 items.
- Projects start and never end – for months.
- You can’t state in a single sentence what the company’s ONE priority is for this quarter.
- You implemented OKRs or a project management tool – and reverted to old habits after 6 weeks.
- You’ve been spending more time on operations than on strategy – for over a year.
What do companies usually do wrong?
- They implement tools: OKR, Jira, Monday – without deciding what to cut.
- They hire a PM – who manages chaos instead of eliminating it.
- They hold strategy workshops – and come out with a new list of initiatives.
- They try to prioritize through voting – every priority wins.
How do we approach this?
We don’t implement OKRs. We don’t hold facilitated workshops. We enforce a single decision: which initiatives ARE NOT a priority – and why this is a decision, not an oversight. We establish the evaluation criteria together BEFORE we begin evaluating. Without criteria before evaluation – the decision is always a political game.
What does a strategic sprint look like?
A quarterly review. You look at the list. Half the items from last quarter are back. New ones have been added. Priority number one is number ten for the third month in a row. And you know it will be the same next quarter. During this strategic sprint, we’ll help you bring order to the chaos.

Anna Gamrot
Co-founder What The Nut
Working with Louder Higher takes your approach to business strategy to a whole new level. There are no “golden rules” from a position of superiority or ready-made recipes for success. Instead, there is a careful process in which, step by step, they discover what is best about the company – its resources, ideas, and potential. As a result, the strategy is not an artificially “pasted” plan, but a natural development of what already works and has the power to bring real business results.

Kuba’s advice is pure practical wisdom. His insights helped me achieve my goals faster than I expected, and I know that after his training, I’ll go even further than I planned. The process was intense, but very focused. It’s great that, as a client, I’ll be able to continue benefiting from his knowledge and the professionalism of his team. I recommend him to everyone (except the competition)!
