Decks are not the problem. Treating decks like systems is.A deck is a snapshot. It captures what people believed at a moment in time. But execution is not a moment. Execution is a sequence of decisions, tradeoffs, and follow through.When strategy lives in decks, teams rely on memory. People interpret the slides differently. Decisions get re-litigated. New hires never see the context. Work splits into side quests because nobody can see the current plan in one place.The result is predictable. You get activity without alignment.If your strategy is real, it deserves a home that updates as decisions change. That home should connect priorities to owners, owners to work, and work to outcomes. It should be easier to check than asking for an update.If this sounds familiar, start with Strategy Isnt the Problem. Its Execution. Then read The Hidden Cost of No Single Source of Truth.
