A governance split for how strategy should get made inside the The Decision Stack (Eriksson): the big, organization-wide strategic bets should be set top-down by leadership, so the whole org is pulling in a consistent direction. Insight surfaced bottom-up — from product, marketing, sales, and customer service teams closest to the work — should then validate or challenge that strategy, rather than originate it wholesale.
This keeps strategy coherent across the organization while still letting frontline signal correct or sharpen it, rather than treating strategy-setting as either a pure executive decree or a pure grassroots roll-up.
