In 2026, the Baldrige Performance Excellence Framework removed its results category outright, after nearly forty years. Was that the end of results, or the end of results living in a separate room? This episode follows the fracture zone of strategy deployment: why beautifully written plans break at the deployment step, how action lists get mistaken for result accountability, and the three maturity paths, building, developing, and mature, that show whether results can flow back and correct strategy itself. You will leave with a three-question test to use in your next strategy review: whose results changed, how long before you see change, and does strategy itself move?
