Write a strategy kernel with explicit choices and a stop-doing list; create a 3-year value-creation thesis and capital/resource allocation map; design the top team and operating rhythm; build a KPI/value tree and monthly/quarterly review cadence; prepare a board calendar plus decision memo; map critical stakeholders and moments of truth; run a disruption/AI scenario and portfolio-reallocation decision; create succession and leadership-development mechanisms; and finish with a 100-day CEO time/energy system and renewal agenda.
