Capability overview

New planning periods rarely start from nothing. Most teams want to carry forward the useful parts of last year’s strategy while leaving behind the activity history, old updates, and clutter that belonged to the previous cycle.

Copy Strategy makes it easier to create a new strategy from an existing one. Leaders can carry forward useful structure such as purpose, vision, focus, pillars, programs, and measures, while giving the new plan a clean operating state.

It helps teams keep continuity where it matters without dragging the old planning period into the new one.
