PATH Canvas & Playbook
The PATH Canvas is a free, collaborative tool to help you break down strategic goals into actionable steps and measurable outcomes. It’s designed for people seeking clarity in achieving business objectives and outcomes.
It is a structured framework designed to help organizations achieve their strategic goals by focusing on four core elements: Policy, Action, Team, and Habit. It ensures that big-picture objectives translate into actionable steps, fostering alignment, clarity, and continuous improvement across all levels.
Policy – Sets the strategic foundation by defining the overarching goals, aligning with broader company objectives, and establishing clear ownership and guidelines.
Action – Translates strategic intent into measurable execution through Key Performance Drivers. It uses proven frameworks such as ROKS KPI Tree, KPI Tree, Goal Tree, OKR Tree, 4DX Tree, and Lean Analytics to ensure consistent planning, progress tracking, and accountability.
Team – Clarifies roles, responsibilities, and collaboration methods. It defines who does what, how teams coordinate, and how decisions are communicated or escalated.
Habit – Establishes ongoing routines and practices to maintain momentum, foster continuous improvement, and keep teams aligned over time.
The PATH Canvas sets the target (Policy), defines how to achieve it (Action and Team), and ensures lasting momentum (Habit). This ensures everyone knows what they’re working toward, how to get there, and how success is sustained—fostering clarity, ownership, and focus across the organization, team or project.
