Last week, we officially presented the Tactical Management Playbook S1-26, with the participation of the Board and the management team. This document marks an important milestone in how we translate strategy into execution during a highly dynamic and uncertain context.
The Tactical Playbook is a 40+ page management document designed to run in parallel with our Strategic Plan 2025–2026. While the Strategic Plan defines long-term direction, priorities, and capability building over a multi-year horizon, the Tactical Playbook focuses on how we execute today. Its scope is intentionally narrower and sharper: a 180-day execution window, reviewed monthly, with clear priorities, decision criteria, and governance rules.
This distinction is critical. Strategy and tactics do not compete — they complement each other. Strategy sets the destination; the Tactical Playbook defines the pace, focus, and trade-offs required to move forward coherently in the short term. In environments where volatility is structural rather than exceptional, disciplined tactical execution becomes a competitive advantage.
Most importantly, this playbook is not a standalone or top-down document. It is the result of a structured and collective strategic process that unfolded over several stages:
A Partners Strategic Retreat, where long-term challenges and execution signals were discussed
Two Looking Back and Looking Forward sessions, where managers shared insights from the previous semester and identified priorities for S1-26
Principals Validation & Scenario Definition sessions, where inputs were validated, tensions discussed, and projected scenarios defined
Final consolidation of the Tactical Management Playbook, formally presented by the CEO
This process ensured that the playbook reflects both ground-level execution realities and leadership-level strategic intent.
The objective of the Tactical Playbook is simple but demanding: to create greater clarity, stronger focus, and disciplined execution across the organization. It provides a shared language for decision-making, a clear governance cadence, and a consistent way to navigate trade-offs under pressure.
Ultimately, the Tactical Management Playbook S1-26 represents a shift in how we operate: moving from intuition-led execution toward a more structured, data-informed, and system-driven approach.
This is part of what we call Next Blend — a new chapter focused on clarity, accountability, and execution maturity.
