How to Use the SPARK Framework to Prioritize Strategic Decisions 

As CEO, your scarcest asset isn’t capital—it’s undivided attention. Too often, weeks vanish into firefighting and status updates, while the choices that truly shape valuation—where to play, how to win, what to stop—get pushed aside.

The SPARK Framework helps leaders shift from reactive to deliberate, creating rhythm and focus in decision-making.

S — Service Scanning

Look beyond your bubble—customers, competitors, frontline teams. Spot the pain points that matter most and act on them. Service isn’t charity; it’s the fastest path to solving the sharpest problems.

P — Purpose Priority

Anchor in your core purpose. Dedicate 80% of resources to proven drivers while testing 1–2 bold, purpose-aligned bets. Purpose doesn’t dilute success—it fuels significance.

A — Attraction Alignment

Align strategy and execution with vision, mission, and values. Clarity of outcomes, roles, and incentives turns friction into momentum. Alignment attracts results because it’s authentic.

R — Resilience Routine

Protect time to think, analyze, and prioritize. Strategy isn’t a lightning bolt—it’s a practice. Resilient leaders steer the ship by anticipating the currents, not just reacting to waves.

K — Knowledge vs. Knowing

Tight feedback loops turn activity into learning, and learning into wisdom. SPARK leaders build a knowledge base they can trust—moving beyond data to real-world knowing.

The Payoff

With SPARK, you gain fewer but sharper priorities, faster decisions, calmer weeks, and more space for strategy to flourish.

Lead your week—don’t let the week lead you
