Very specifically presents The Balanced Scorecard--which is basically a system to break down strategy into 4 main areas => which can then be translated into objectives and measures. Some similarities with OKRs, but the context is different as this provides a comprehensive coverage of strategy vs OKR is more listing down the top priorities to keep everyone focused. You will learn:
• What is the Balanced Scorecard (BSC), and how it addresses all strategic aspects of a business from 4 perspectives: Financials, Customers, Internal Business Processes, and Learning & Growth.
• How to create your BSC, apply it in 4 steps, and use it to address common problems and challenges in strategy implementation and management.
• How to differentiate between lag measures (that reflect the outcomes of past efforts/initiatives) and lead measures (that drive or predict future successes), and break down long-term strategic objectives into a lag/lead measures and _targeted initiatives.

The explanation of a "framing question" on p. 170 really should have been at or near the beginning of the book. Though out the book, the author refers to framing questions and framing in general, as though we all knew what he was talking about, and only explained near the very end of the last chapter what this concept is. The use of this terminology near the beginning would have made the read much less annoying and more beneficial.
