Close the Performance Gap: How The Navigator Aligns Teams with Business Goals

Contact Us

 “Why are we not hitting our targets?” Despite strategic clarity at the top, many organizations struggle with a common and costly challenge – performance gaps. These gaps appear when day-to-day operations fall out of sync with overarching business goals. The result? Missed targets, reduced momentum, and frustration across all levels of leadership.

The Pétanque NXT Team, have deep experience working alongside CEOs, senior executives, and operational managers who face this very pain point. That’s why we created The Navigator – our custom-built performance tracker designed to bridge the gap between intention and execution.

Let’s explore how The Navigator helps your business close performance gaps and unlock aligned, measurable progress.

The High Cost of Misalignment

Misalignment doesn’t always present itself as chaos. Often, it looks like busy teams producing reports that no one reads, chasing tasks that don’t move the needle, or launching campaigns that don't optimally support growth plans. Oftentimes, when team members aren’t clear on how their work connects to business outcomes, performance slips – and accountability becomes difficult to enforce.

Performance gaps are not just operational inefficiencies; they are barriers to growth. According to McKinsey, companies that consistently align their teams with strategy are 3x more likely to outperform peers in terms of revenue and profit growth.

So, how can leaders consistently ensure that what’s happening on the ground reflects what’s being prioritized at the top?

Introducing The Navigator: Clarity, Alignment, and Action in One Platform

The Navigator is more than a data tracker – it’s your team’s alignment engine. Designed specifically to combat performance drift, The Navigator turns scattered efforts into cohesive progress through three core capabilities:

1. Clear Visibility into What Matters

At a glance, The Navigator shows how key activities map to strategic objectives. It replaces bloated dashboards with focused insights, helping you identify which areas of the business are driving value – and which are falling short.

This level of visibility empowers managers to make mid-course corrections early, before missed targets become annual disappointments.

2. Weekly Habits that Reinforce Strategic Focus

One of the most powerful features of The Navigator is its built-in rhythm. Designed to take just 15 minutes per week, it turns performance monitoring into a sustainable team habit. With structured weekly inputs and outputs, teams start and end their week with clarity on what they’re doing and why.

Executives can trust that progress is being tracked against the right priorities—not just against arbitrary task lists.

3. Shared Accountability, Built In

Accountability often fails because expectations aren’t visible or consistent. The Navigator solves this by assigning ownership and measuring inputs and results with simple, shareable metrics. Every team member knows what success looks like – and how their contribution plays a role in it.

That kind of transparency doesn’t just close performance gaps; it motivates high performance.

Why Senior Leaders Choose The Navigator

Our track record shows that for the CEOs and senior executives we work with, The Navigator is a powerful tool for coaching and course correction. Instead of reacting to quarterly performance reports, you gain real-time insights into how effectively your strategy is being executed. You’re equipped to ask better questions, set better priorities, and lead more confidently. The Navigator is an extension of the EOS system, well explained by Gino Wickman, where Traction has successfully transformed business performance.

For business leaders and operational managers, it becomes a platform for empowerment. Teams operate with greater autonomy because their actions are visibly linked to business goals. Leaders spend less time chasing updates and more time enabling progress.

For the business overall, The Navigator creates cultural alignment. Strategy becomes part of the daily conversation – not something that’s revisited only during annual planning sessions.

A Custom Fit for Your Business

Every Navigator is built to suit your unique context – industry, structure, team makeup, and goals. Whether you’re managing a national sales force, a marketing department, or multi-functional project teams, the tool scales with you and grows as your business evolves.

Our team works closely with you to customize your dashboard, define performance measures, and guide adoption across teams. From setup to optimization, our support ensures you’re never alone in your journey toward greater alignment.

What Could You Do with a Fully Aligned Team?

Imagine the momentum your business could achieve if every team were clear on their role, every action reinforced the strategy, and every performance review was grounded in real, current data.

That’s not a dream. That’s The Navigator.
