Strategic Planning That Turns Your 3-Year Vision Into Reality
Stop guessing where your business is headed. Create a clear, confident 3HAG (3-Year Highly Achievable Goal) that aligns your team and drives predictable growth.
Most companies have a "strategy," but ask three leaders what it is and you'll get three different answers. Without a clear, simple 3-year plan, your team operates in silos, chasing conflicting priorities.
Complex Strategy Nobody Remembers
Your strategy is buried in a 50-page document that leaders can't articulate in one sentence. Without clarity, teams make decisions that pull in different directions.
Gap Between Vision and Execution
You have a 10-year BHAG but no bridge to get there. Your team doesn't know what to focus on this year, quarter, or month to move toward that vision.
Reactive Planning, Not Strategic Growth
You plan year-to-year without a 3-year roadmap. Every annual planning session starts from scratch instead of building momentum toward a clear future state.
The 3HAG Way: Turn Complex Strategy Into A Clear Picture
The 3HAG (3-Year Highly Achievable Goal) framework transforms your complex strategy into a simple, visual plan that your entire team can understand, remember, and execute.
A structured approach to creating strategic clarity in just 2 days.
1. Gut Out Your 3HAG
We start by articulating your 3-year vision—revenue, profit, market position, and "one phrase" strategy. This gut-check session establishes where you're headed with confidence.
2. Build Strategic Pictures
Create visual clarity with external market view, internal cash flow, core customer profile, attribution framework, and 3-5 differentiating activities that set you apart.
3. Design 12-Quarter Swim Lanes
Map your 3-year journey into 12 quarterly execution lanes. Each quarter builds on the last, creating a clear march toward your 3HAG with measurable milestones.
4. Activate & Align Your Team
Deploy your 3HAG across your organization with the One-Page Growth Plan. Every team member sees how their work connects to the 3-year vision, driving aligned execution.

How is 3HAG different from traditional strategic planning?
Traditional strategic plans are often 50-page documents that leaders can't articulate or execute. 3HAG distills your complex strategy into a clear, visual plan that fits on one page. It's designed to be understood, remembered, and acted upon by your entire team.
How long does it take to create a 3HAG?
The initial 3HAG workshop is 2 days. During this intensive session, you'll gut out your 3-year vision, build strategic pictures, and create your One-Page Growth Plan. Full implementation and organizational alignment typically takes 3-6 months with quarterly reviews.
Do we need to know our BHAG before creating a 3HAG?
It helps, but it's not required. We can work with you to clarify your 10-30 year BHAG as part of the process. The 3HAG then becomes the achievable stepping stone toward that bigger vision.
What's the difference between 3HAG and annual planning?
Annual planning focuses on the next 12 months. 3HAG provides the 3-year context that makes your annual plan more strategic. Instead of starting from scratch each year, your annual plans build sequentially toward your 3HAG, creating compound momentum.
Who should participate in 3HAG strategic planning?
Your core leadership team should participate in the 2-day workshop. This includes C-suite executives, VPs, and key functional leaders. Having the right people in the room ensures buy-in and creates a cohesive strategic vision.
What if we already have a strategic plan?
Excellent! We'll evaluate your existing plan and refine it using the 3HAG framework. Most companies discover their strategy is too complex or disconnected from execution. We'll simplify it into a clear picture your whole team can rally around.
