Case Study: Microsoft Corporation achieves strategic alignment and organization-wide ownership with OnStrategy

Microsoft Corporation - Customer Case Study

Microsoft Corporation engaged OnStrategy to improve engagement and alignment during strategy execution across five distinct business units. Facing unclear ownership, fragmented communications, and the need for cross-unit collaboration, Microsoft sought a best-practice strategic planning and communications approach to create clearer priorities and more effective execution.

OnStrategy delivered executive and board retreat facilitation, a focused strategic plan, a governance model, and a custom communication strategy that reinforced cross-unit collaboration. As a result, OnStrategy helped Microsoft Corporation establish a clear line-of-sight to priorities and metrics, sharpen strategic focus on the right activities, and implement accountability and ownership across business units that improved alignment and engagement during execution.
