Adam Zalisk: Building a Strategy Office in Growth-Stage Companies

What does “strategy” really mean inside a fast-growing company and when is it time to formalize it? In this episode, Kaihan Krippendorff sits down with Adam (from Amplify) to explore how growth-stage organizations define strategy, why “commitments” matter more than plans, and when a company truly needs a strategy office. Together, they unpack the hidden challenges that emerge as companies scale and how leaders can move from opportunistic growth to intentional, aligned execution. Adam introduces a practical framework for diagnosing what organizations are really asking for when they say, “We need a strategy.” From setting a true north to building execution muscle, this conversation reveals what it takes to turn strategy into real action. 🎯 What You’ll Learn: A modern definition of strategy built around outcomes + commitments The 4 real reasons companies create a strategy office How to shift from “smart advisor” to a role with real decision-making power Why strategy must be visible, high-stakes, and tied to execution How to avoid becoming an internal order-taker How to measure the success of a strategy office The biggest mistake companies make when launching strategy teams ⏱️ Chapters: 00:00 – Introduction (coming up) 00:29 – What is strategy?
