A deliberate shift in strategic direction. Not drift -- a decision. Bearing Changes are recorded, owned, and communicated.
Direction & Vision
Direction and Vision terms govern how the Expedition stays oriented over time — from a fixed long-term destination that never moves, down to the quarterly checkpoints that translate that destination into actionable priorities. Without this layer, teams optimise locally and Veer globally.
See: Framework Overview
A Veer
Movement away from the intended Bearing without a decision to move. Not failure -- an undetected Bearing Change. Small Veers compound quietly.
Course Decisions
Executive-level decisions that change the route of the Expedition. Market selection, capital allocation, Bearing Changes, Post Roster restructuring. Rare, recorded, and owned at the top.
The Bearing
The weekly synchronous meeting. Short, directional, no status updates. One question drives it: what requires human judgment this week that is not already handled?
