Most organisations run strategy in one tool and delivery in another. StrategyWorks is the strategy execution platform that fixes that: a single hierarchy from vision to project, with live KPIs, portfolio status, financials and risks in one place.

Strategy is set in PowerPoint. OKRs live in a spreadsheet. Delivery is tracked in a project tool. Risks sit in a register no one reads. Each system tells part of the story. Nobody sees the whole picture. The result: initiatives drift from strategic intent, leaders lose confidence in the data, and the board meeting becomes a reconciliation exercise rather than a decision-making session.
A strategy execution platform closes that gap. Not by replacing your delivery tools, but by providing the connective layer above them.
Strategy is set at the top. Delivery happens below. The two are never formally connected. Initiatives consume resource without clear strategic justification. Nobody can see which objectives are well-supported and which are being ignored.
Progress reporting is manual and intermittent. By the time data reaches the executive team, it reflects what was true last week. Decisions are made on stale information.
When an initiative slips, nobody can trace it back to the strategic objective at risk. Escalation is reactive. The board is surprised. The strategy review becomes a post-mortem.
StrategyWorks maintains the full strategy hierarchy: vision, mission, strategic objectives, OKRs, KPIs, strategic initiatives, portfolios, programmes and projects. Every node links upward to the objective it serves and downward to the delivery beneath it.
When a programme slips, the impact on the strategic objective is immediate and visible. No manual tracing. No chasing updates. The connection is live.
StrategyWorks provides a live strategy dashboard: OKR progress, initiative RAG status, financial tracking vs. plan, and escalated risks: all in one view. No manual assembly. No data requests to the team.
The board and executive team see the same platform as the delivery teams. Same data, different level of detail. No PDF exports. No version control problems.
StrategyWorks has no per-seat fees on any plan. The executive team, delivery leads, programme managers, board members and external advisors all access the same platform at no additional cost per user.
Pricing is per initiative: the things you are actually managing. Not per head. One cost. Predictable. Aligned with the value.

A strategy execution platform is software that formally connects strategic intent to delivery. It sits above the project management layer and below the strategic planning layer, providing the connective tissue that most organisations currently manage, poorly, through spreadsheets, slide decks and weekly update calls.
In most mid-market organisations, strategy is set in one system (or more accurately, in a PowerPoint deck), OKRs are tracked in a spreadsheet, and delivery is managed in a project tool. None of these systems know about each other. The result is that executives cannot answer a simple question: is the work we are doing actually serving the strategy we agreed? A strategy execution platform makes that question answerable, in real time, without chasing anyone for an update.
The term is sometimes used loosely to describe any tool that touches strategy or delivery. Used precisely, a strategy execution platform does three specific things: it structures the strategy hierarchy (from vision and mission down through objectives, OKRs and KPIs), it connects that hierarchy to the delivery portfolio beneath it (portfolios, programmes, projects), and it provides live visibility of progress, financial performance and risk across the whole system.
Research consistently shows that between 60% and 90% of strategies fail not because the strategy was wrong, but because execution was inadequate. The barriers are well-documented: poor communication of priorities, misalignment between resource allocation and strategic intent, lack of accountability, and insufficient visibility of delivery progress at the leadership level.
A strategy execution platform addresses each of these directly. Priorities are structured in a formal hierarchy, not communicated through an all-hands presentation. Resource allocation is visible: which objectives have programmes behind them, and which are strategic intent with no delivery attached. Accountability is named: every objective and initiative has an owner. And progress is live, not assembled manually for the monthly pack.
vs. OKR software: OKR tools manage objectives and key results. They do not connect OKRs to the delivery portfolio beneath them. You can have a perfectly managed OKR process and still have no visibility of whether the programmes and projects responsible for delivery are on track. A strategy execution platform includes OKR management and adds the delivery connection.
vs. project management software: Project management tools track tasks, milestones and budgets within individual projects. They do not connect projects to the strategic objectives that justify them. A strategy execution platform sits above the project layer and provides the strategic context that project tools cannot.
vs. balanced scorecard software: Balanced scorecard tools provide a structured framework for measuring strategic performance through KPIs. They are measurement systems, not execution systems. A strategy execution platform includes performance measurement and adds live delivery management, financial tracking and risk visibility.
vs. BI and reporting tools: Business intelligence tools surface data from operational systems. They tell you what happened. A strategy execution platform connects the strategy to the work and tells you whether the work is serving the strategy. These are different questions.
If more than two of these describe your organisation, you are managing strategy execution with the wrong tools. Book a demo to see how StrategyWorks addresses each one.
A strategy execution platform is software that connects strategic objectives (OKRs, KPIs) to portfolio delivery (initiatives, programmes, projects) in a single system. Unlike project management tools or OKR tools, a strategy execution platform maintains the full hierarchy from vision to individual project, giving leaders a live view of whether delivery is serving the strategy.
Project management software tracks tasks, timelines, and budgets within a project. A strategy execution platform connects projects to the strategic objectives they are supposed to deliver. StrategyWorks sits above the project layer: it shows whether your portfolio, as a whole, is executing the strategy.
OKR software manages objectives and key results. A strategy execution platform does that and connects OKRs to the delivery portfolio beneath them. StrategyWorks links each OKR to the initiatives, programmes and projects responsible for delivering it, so leaders can see both the goal and the execution status in one view.
Strategy execution platforms are most valuable for mid-market and enterprise organisations, typically £100M to £1Bn in revenue, with a defined strategy function and an active delivery portfolio. Smaller organisations may find the free OKR tier sufficient.
StrategyWorks Platform is £35 per initiative per month, with no per-seat fees. The OKR tier is free for qualifying organisations. Enterprise pricing is available for bespoke deployment and SSO.
Yes. StrategyWorks is designed to sit above your existing delivery tooling, not replace it. Project teams can continue using their preferred tools for day-to-day task management. StrategyWorks provides the strategic layer above them: the hierarchy, the objectives, the cross-portfolio view, and the executive dashboard. Integration with Power BI is included on all paid plans.
StrategyWorks includes bespoke organisation setup and design on all plans. Most organisations are operational within a few weeks. The complexity depends on the size of the strategy hierarchy and delivery portfolio, and how much existing data needs to be migrated. Enterprise deployments with SSO and custom integrations take longer and are scoped individually.
StrategyWorks includes a full OKR platform on the free tier: unlimited OKRs, KPIs, strategic risks, RACI and accountability. If you are using a standalone OKR tool, StrategyWorks replaces it and adds the delivery connection your current tool does not have. Most organisations find they can consolidate onto StrategyWorks rather than running multiple tools in parallel.
StrategyWorks includes a strategic risk register connected to the strategy hierarchy. Risks can be logged at any level, strategic objective, portfolio, programme or project. And escalated through the hierarchy to the appropriate decision-maker. Strategic risks are visible to the executive team in the same platform as delivery status, rather than sitting in a separate register that is rarely consulted.
StrategyWorks provides live dashboards at every level of the hierarchy. From the executive strategy view down to programme and project level. Power BI integration is included on paid plans, with a pre-built template library for organisations that need custom reporting. There are no PDF exports or static slide packs: the platform is the report, updated continuously as delivery progresses.
