4 Disciplines of Execution

The 4 Disciplines of Execution (4DX) focus on achieving important goals. First, identify a wildly important goal (WIG)—the main thing that really matters. Next, act on lead measures—specific, measurable actions that influence the goal. Third, keep a compelling scoreboard to track progress clearly. Finally, create a cadence of accountability—regular check-ins to review progress, discuss challenges, and adjust actions. Together, these disciplines help teams stay focused, prioritize effectively, and consistently execute strategies that lead to success.
