Key Activities: Where Strategy Becomes Action

Introduction to Key Activities

Updated over 2 weeks ago

Welcome to Key Activities — the execution engine of the Howwe methodology.
While Most Important Goals (MIGs) and Company Initiatives define your strategic focus, Key Activities define how you get there — one week at a time.

🎥 Watch the video below to see how Key Activities work in practice, or read on to get started.

🎯 What Is a Key Activity?

A Key Activity is a specific, high-impact action that your team commits to doing regularly — typically on a weekly basis.

It’s not just a task or a to-do. It’s a behavior that, when done consistently, drives meaningful progress toward your MIGs and Initiatives.

✅ A Key Activity should be clearly connected to your MIG or Initiatives.


🧭 From Strategy to Execution

Key Activities connect your team's day-to-day efforts directly to your strategic priorities.


Instead of being overwhelmed by everything you could do, you focus on what you should do — the few things that truly matter.

✅ Less noise, more focus. That’s what drives results.


🔄 Weekly Rhythm & Accountability

Every week, your team will review progress on Key Activities during your Acceleration Meeting.


You’ll check in: What was done? What worked? What needs to change?

This regular rhythm builds accountability and helps teams course-correct in real time.

✅ It’s not about perfection — it’s about consistent forward motion.


🧠 Tip: Start Simple, Then Improve

You don’t need to overthink it.


Start with a few Key Activities that you think are critical in order for you to achieve your goals.


As you learn what works, you’ll refine and sharpen your activities over time.

✅ Small actions, done consistently, lead to big outcomes.
