Strategy to Execution
Transforming Analysis into Results
Program Description
As partners to North Carolina’s company decision-makers, Liberated Leaders brings the lens of a strategic COO into companies and businesses to help them tap into relentless execution and remove the roadblocks that often stand in the way of strategic progress—helping you work on your business rather than in it.
We do that using our SWOT to Action method, a 90-day engagement led by our Success Architects and designed to transform strategic analysis and navel-gazing into a pragmatic operating checklist that makes sure your most important stuff gets done.
Unlike traditional consulting engagements that end with recommendations, our hands-on guidance ensures your team moves from analysis to meaningful action with clear accountability and measurable outcomes—a deliberate approach that strengthens the connective tissue between leadership and team members.
What You Get
The SWOT to Action methodology delivers immediate results while catalyzing lasting improvements in how your leadership team operates, with clients transforming their ability to balance day-to-day operations with strategic progress.
-
Through our structured 90-day approach, your team moves beyond navel gazing to make tangible progress on strategic priorities.
Getting it done feels great, and the completion of the 3-5 high-impact action items identified in the workshop builds momentum and demonstrates the power of aligned effort and opens the door to embracing what’s possible with relentless execution.
-
Along the way, leadership teams discover a new rhythm of collaboration that transcends operational firefighting.
Liberated Leaders’ process deepens understanding between team members, creating stronger connections that enhance both strategic and day-to-day interactions. Teams develop a sustainable cadence for addressing long-term opportunities while managing current demands.
-
Your organization gains more than just completed actions. The SWOT to Action method sparks possibility within your team, and pulls forward new levels of adaptability and potential. As teams embrace this dynamic approach, they often discover an unexpected magic in their collective capability—finding creative solutions, seizing opportunities, and building momentum in ways they never thought possible.
The result is a lasting improvement in execution effectiveness that continues to evolve and strengthen over time.
Our Approach
Powered by our SWOT to Action method
Initial Survey
Beginning with one-on-one pre-launch conversations between a Success Architect and team members, we gather vital perspectives and insights about your organization's current state and aspirations. This foundation ensures we understand the dynamics and opportunities unique to your leadership team.
Strategic Alignment Workshop
The launch of our work together is a comprehensive 6-hour workshop that brings your leadership team together for the first time. Through structured facilitation, team members connect on a personal level, sharing experiences and insights that deepen understanding and trust.
This intensive session combines relationship strengthening with a thorough SWOT analysis, immediately translating insights into 3-5 concrete actions participants can take to address business weaknesses, pursue opportunities, or mitigate threats to ultimately drive progress.
Execution Support and Guidance
Our next step includes hands-on guidance through a structured rhythm of support:
Biweekly check-ins with individual action owners to ensure progress and provide support
Alternating biweekly team sessions to maintain momentum, deepen relationships, and solve challenges collaboratively
Success Review and Momentum Planning
We conclude with a comprehensive review of progress achieved and customize strategies to maintain momentum beyond our first engagement. This final phase ensures sustainable progress toward your strategic goals.
Time Investment
The SWOT to Action method delivers maximum impact while respecting the demands on your leadership team's time. Our structured engagement includes:
Individual team member conversations/questionnaires (30-60 minutes per person) prior to the workshop
One comprehensive 6-hour strategic alignment workshop
Biweekly team sessions (30 minutes) focusing on progress and connection
Action owner check-ins (20 minutes) on alternating weeks
Keys to Success
Our experience shows that two fundamental elements drive exceptional outcomes in this process. First, active engagement from the sponsor throughout the journey signals organizational commitment and accelerates progress. Second, team members who approach the process with curiosity create an environment where insights flourish and execution excellence becomes possible.
The carefully structured rhythm of engagement ensures steady progress while maintaining focus on both daily operations and strategic advancement. This balanced approach allows your leadership team to develop new capabilities without overwhelming existing responsibilities.
