Get ready to explore the deep architecture of lasting impact. At the heart of The Legacy Strategy lies Brueckmann's powerful framework: The Nine Elements of Organizational Identity. From Purpose and Values to Brand Promise and Culture, these elements aren't just buzzwords—they're the DNA of enduring organizations. In this interview, we'll break down how these components work together to shape everything from strategic decisions to everyday behavior. If you lead a team, a business, or even your own personal mission, this is the blueprint you've been waiting for. Alex's approach isn't theory—it's battle-tested. He's worked with global leaders to align identity with action, turning abstract ideals into tangible outcomes. This episode will take you beyond surface-level strategy and into the soul of leadership. Learn how to leverage your organization's identity to navigate complexity, inspire trust, and build a legacy that outlives you. Join us live and bring your questions—this is your chance to engage directly with one of today's most thoughtful voices in leadership strategy. Discover how the Nine Elements can redefine your impact, your clarity, and your legacy. The Legacy Blueprint isn't just a conversation. It's a turning point. Alex Brueckmann's Wall Street Journal Best-Selling book, "The Strategy Legacy: How to Future-Proof a Business and Leave Your Mark" is an absolute must read!  This book will make you rethink how like most businesses have neglected your business identity for strategy. And it's not going to work like you think. Alex gets us to think in terms of how we need to start with our people, figure out our moral compass, we believe, what we stand for, get to know your people deeper, and create a business that leaves a lasting legacy. Alex's 9 Elements of Organizational Identity are well-thought-out, well organized, and make so much sense.  Putting things in the right order, so that you and I can get our businesses and organizations in order.  Once we start with the people part, then strategy comes in to play...but only after our shared identity is clear. I found that having a strategy of further foresight was also intriguing.  So often we stop after one, two or five years.  But Alex encourages going further, what about 15 years from now?  What is the impact of your business, then?  What will it look like?  Are you preparing for it now. The Strategy Legacy is not only a lesson in "future-proofing" your business, but Alex takes us step by step through the process, describing "why" and how long each step will take.  Honestly, after reading this section, I have to be honest it will be quite the challenge, but the results are worth it.  Nothing that has value is ever easy, and you will have to put in the work.

“Strategy has a unique attribute in that it touches a whole lot of different things in an organization,” explains Alex Brueckmann, a strategy facilitator and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of “The Strategy Legacy” and “Secrets of Next Level Entrepreneurs.” Alongside host Mike Horne, they discuss the critical role of human capital in driving growth and innovation, emphasizing that employees are much more than mere resources.   Alex shares his strategic process, highlighting the importance of understanding an organization's identity and aligning executive teams for effective implementation. He stresses simplicity in communication to ensure strategies are understood and embraced at every level.   The episode addresses the ethical implications of strategy development, with Alex arguing that neglecting strategy is unethical as it withholds potential benefits from employees and customers. He emphasizes leveraging organizational strengths and setting realistic goals.   Alex and Mike also touch on the intersection of strategy and executive development, noting the crucial role leaders play in promoting strategic objectives. Alex advocates for continuous strategic thinking over sporadic planning to embed strategic thought into organizational culture.   Quotes: “When we use the term strategy, what is it that we mean? And what is it that we mean when we use other terms like vision, mission? How do you bring those into a cohesive framework, into a model where they can all coexist and influence each other in a positive way?” (07:57 | Alex Brueckmann) “If you think about what strategy is, it is your theory of how you win in your marketplace. And winning means different things to different people. To me, as an organization, winning means to be able to grow, to be able to deliver value to your customers.” (16:03 | Alex Brueckmann)  “Once you've reached a certain level in the organization, it's not necessarily about your subject matter expertise anymore. It's how well you lead and how well you understand some of the key capabilities that a leader on that level needs to have. And one of that, for example, is, ‘Am I able to rethink the organization? Am I able to create a strategy?' Another one is, ‘Am I able to lead teams in ways that they can implement strategy? Do I create an environment—some people would use the term ‘culture'— in which strategy can thrive? And am I able to use a strategy process to do more than just strategy, to actually define, redefine the culture, redefine how we operate as an organization?'” (36:50 | Alex Brueckmann)    Links: Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Learn More About Executive and Organization Development with Mike Horne Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikehorneauthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikehorneauthor/,  LinkedIn Mike's Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6867258581922799617/,  Schedule a Discovery Call with Mike: https://calendly.com/mikehorne/15-minute-discovery-call-with-mike     Learn more about Alex Brueckmann Website: https://brueckmann.ca Alex Brueckmann's Books: https://brueckmann.ca/books LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alexanderbrueckmann/   Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Show Notes: In this episode of Unleashed, Alex Brueckmann discusses the concept of strategy and its importance in business. Alex states that strategy is defined as a set of integrated choices made to win in a chosen marketplace. It is not just about playing the game, but about creating value that convinces or influences customers to buy from the company. A good strategy should be cohesive and integrated, making sense together, and Alex explains what defines a good strategy.  Defining Key Factors in a  Strategy When discussing a strategy, it is important to understand what the company does, for whom, what they offer, and who their customer is. This information can help businesses define their niche, mission, and goals. The next piece of information should be a clear description of what the business will look like in the next few years. The end state of the business and the strategy cycle should be defined, with what will be achieved by implementing the strategy and what actions will be taken. By knowing what you do, for whom, what you work toward, and the few choices that make 80% of the impact, businesses can focus their resources on the most important aspects of their strategy. Helping Companies Develop a Strategy Alex talks about the process of helping companies develop their strategy. He begins by helping clients understand their playing field, recent past changes and challenges, and aligning them with what the reality looks like. He discusses future changes and challenges, dissecting them into opportunities and defining target markets and clients. Alex helps clients understand what they need to do to make clients choose them over competitors in various industries. He also introduces the framework of the nine elements of organizational identity, which is an integrated approach to understanding every aspect of an entity. This includes customer experience, who the company is as a company, and the impact they want to have by providing a service to the world. The Nine Elements of Organizational Identity Alex talks about the frameworks he uses to help clients develop a strategy, including the nine elements of organizational identity and how he has defined key factors into the inner circle, the middle circle, and the outer circle. The Inner Circle Business Strategy He talks about the inner circle of a business and what it  involves, including impact, mission, and principles. Impact is the change you want to create, based on your purpose and reason to exist as an organization. Mission is what an organization aims to do, and principles are the underlying values and behavioral guidelines.He explains how each element works and what the difference between impact and mission is. Iimpact is the change you want to create, while mission is what an organization aims to do. For example, a vehicle company's mission is to produce vehicles and sell them to a specific target group. However, the impact they create is deeper than their business definition. For example, producing affordable vehicles can be a game changer for families in third world countries, and having your own vehicle can also be a game changer depending on the security situation. The Middle Circle Business Strategy The middle circle is your business strategy, which includes a vision, choices made, and measurable goals. SMART goals are specific, measurable, and timed, but they lack specificity and, instead, hope that passion will carry them forward. To create a cohesive business strategy, it is essential to have a clear vision, intermediate goals, and visual representations, such as a strategy map. This helps ensure that the story you are telling with your strategy is cohesive and effective. The Outer Circle Business Strategy Alex discusses the outer circle, which includes management system capabilities and targets. This outer circle is likened to a scaffolding that prevents a business from breaking down again. However, without enabling everyone in the business to lead effectively and help individual contributors understand that their job matters, and help them achieve their individual targets. It also helps ensure alignment with company values.He mentions that targets should be both cultural and strategic.  The third element in the outer circle is management systems, which help adjust organizational structure and processes to support change. These systems are designed to help the company stay stable and develop, but they are not designed for change. Therefore, building new systems and then removing the old ones is crucial to create strategies that support strategy, implementation, and culture. Preparing the Foundation of Strategy Development Alex emphasizes the importance of understanding the playing field and reality, as well as the diamond values that define who a business is. Diamond values are hard to alter, even under pressure, and are hard to lose clients if they don't align with the company's values. He mentions that the distinction between irrational and emotional culture is important, as it helps companies understand the difference between doing the right thing and talking about business and the words used to describe your playing field, and the emotional culture of the people within the business, and creating an environment that fosters a human-centric performance culture, where people show up at their best every day. This goes beyond just revenue generation and problem-solving, but also encourages employees to be the best version of themselves, knowing that working in a business that prioritizes them as human beings is a privilege. The Role of a Strategy Facilitator Alex discusses the role of a strategy facilitator in executive coaching and how to help customers create business strategies. He shares eight steps that can be used as starting points for executive teams, including executive interviews, foundation sessions, and strategy workshops. The foundation session helps answer foundational questions and aligns everyone's readiness to start a strategy process.  He talks about the importance of transitioning from understanding reality and understanding oneself and values to moving towards the future. Facilitators must create an environment where honest and vulnerable conversations about strategy are allowed, allowing people to bring their ideas forward. Alex emphasizes the importance of helping people become stewards of the entire business, not just the marketing lead or sales lead. They should step away from their day-to-day jobs and become stewards of the entire business. Alex mentions a certification program for facilitation he is developing that targets both external resources like executive coaches and workshop facilitators, as well as internal resources like strategy managers and PMO managers who often find themselves in situations with executives where they facilitate and push forward the process. Alex's book, "The Strategy Facilitator," was inspired by a conversation with Marshall Goldsmith, who had previously worked with Alex's marketing agency. Goldsmith offered to endorse his book, which Brueckmann describes as a kind gesture.

And that's what I talked to Alex Brueckmann about in this episode. Alex explained: We often grow into our roles as business owners from a starting point of Knowledge. We've done something for awhile and we know it very well so we think we could build a business around that. We get better and better in that subject matter and then we realize there are things we really have no idea about, but should because they are important to the business.

You should be too.   “Strategy” is another one of these terms that gets tossed around so much it loses some meaning.  Most entrepreneurs will make mental associations between strategy and other ideas like goals for the future, well-laid plans, or a list of priorities for the organization. But this still leaves a lot of room for differing interpretations and abstraction. This episode's conversation is with Alex Brueckmann.

Today on the podcast we talk with entrepreneur, author and executive coach Alex Brueckmann about how businesses can build a framework and strategy to follow to ensure a successful future for their company.

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Founder of https://www.brueckmann.ca/ (Brueckmann Executive Consulting), Alex Brueckmann. Alex Brueckmann helps business owners create maps to achieve success in their business. Alex explains that strategy is not as difficult as many people make it out to be. Individuals find this difficult because they may not have a background in marketing and do not know the tools or processes to make it easier. Alex explains that the needs for a business are similar to strategic pillars and all businesses have them, even podcasts. Focusing on strategic pillars as a business is important because these will translate ideas into reality and will allow them to stop focusing on things that are not conducive to the business.  Alex explains that successful businesses operate by allowing for positive conflict, as it allows for individuals to be heard. If these individual's ideas are heard, they are more apt to put more effort into their work, regardless of the outcome of sharing their ideas. Alex explains that his book, The Strategy Legacy, was created to help individuals not familiar with strategy and to help them focus on the bigger picture of strategy. As the book has not been published yet, the framework for Alex's book is found on his website as well as free strategy resources.   Key Points: Alex's impact on the world How Alex helps his clients create roadmaps to achieve success How strategy can help podcasts achieve success Strategic pillars Realizing the liberation of staying in your lane How to handle differing opinions in a business  The target audience for Alex's book, The Strategy Legacy, and how it aides the audience Who Alex works with  What to do on Alex's website.    About Alex Brueckmann: Alex is a strategy entrepreneur, author, and speaker.
