The North Star is a thought exercise that invites individuals, teams, and organizations to reflect on their current location, their objectives, goals and aspirations, and to explore ideas and opportunities for success.
It is organized around five key areas: Start, Stop, More, Less, and Keep. Each area comes with guiding questions, such as "What should I start doing or experiencing that I am currently not?" and "Where is the effort consistently higher than the output?" You then map your responses onto the North Star diagram to visualize and adapt your plans.
