Strategic Reset Checklist
Refocus Your Priorities. Realign For Impact.
The Strategic Reset Checklist helps institutions step back from reactive activity and assess whether their priorities still align with real needs and evolving contexts. It enables leaders and teams to ask the right questions, shift out of autopilot, and reset institutional focus around what truly matters. Not everything that matters is urgent — and not everything urgent should stay on the list. This tool is especially useful in times of transition, overload, or drift.
What It Helps You Do
-
Reconnect with your institution’s core goals and mandates
-
Test alignment between vision, operations, and resources
-
Identify outdated assumptions, duplicated efforts, or drift
-
Reprioritize initiatives based on feasibility and impact
-
Ground future planning in strategic clarity and shared focus
When To Use It
-
After a crisis, leadership change, or transition
-
When current plans feel misaligned or unrealistic
-
At mid-year, end-of-year, or other reflection points
-
Before launching a new reform, initiative, or work cycle
-
When everything feels urgent and clarity is needed
How To Use It
Use it as a guided exercise with internal teams, senior leadership, or cross-functional groups — especially during planning retreats, board reviews, or institutional resets. It pairs well with the Recovery Audit Tool and can anchor delivery sprints, annual updates, or strategic realignment sessions.
