A clear way to move from intent to execution: define the objective, coordinate the work, and verify the agreed deliverables.
One method, adapted to the scope, constraints, and decisions of each engagement.
Focus

Advance
Assign ownership, sequence milestones, and track progress, risks, and decisions. Output: a visible execution plan.
Fulfill

The specific deliverables are defined in the engagement scope.
