Explore the three proprietary systems that help boards, entrepreneurs, and transformation leaders move from intention to impact. The frameworks form part of the Execution Operating System (OS)TM, taught in business schools and used inside real transformation programs.
GROWTH Anchorā¢Ā : Personal execution systemĀ
GROWTH Anchorā¢Ā is a personal execution system designed to help you set goals with clarity, structure, and sustained follow-through. It translates intentions into measurable outcomes by combining precise goal definition, practical routines, and disciplined accountability.Ā
GROWTH Anchorā¢ is best for individuals who want to move from intention to sustained execution, providing a clear, structured system that turns goals into measurable outcomes through built-in meaning, feasibility checks, and ongoing accountability over the course of a year.
C3 Formulaā¢: Diagnose Before You Act
C3 Formulaā¢ helps leaders quickly assess whether their organizationās strategy engine is healthy, over-stretched, or broken. It benchmarks three critical dimensions; Clarity, Capacity, and Cadence, to reveal where momentum leaks before they become failure headlines.
Use it to replace assumptions with data, align leadership focus, and prioritize the right recovery moves.
If your people are guessing what matters most, thatās not confusion, itās your signal system failing.
C3 exposes where energy leaks, so you can fix the rhythm before performance collapses.
ALIGNā¢ Framework: Connect Strategy to Daily Behavior
Most strategies donāt fail in planning rooms, they fail in Monday meetings.
The ALIGNā¢ Framework turns strategic clarity into daily accountability through five connected levers that make execution visible and repeatable.
ALIGNā¢ is what happens when vision stops being a speech and starts becoming a system.
Itās how leadership tone translates into action tone ā the bridge between talk and traction. When applied well, ALIGNā¢ builds rhythm into results, strategy stops being a slide deck and becomes a living system.
RECODEā¢ Framework: Reset and Simplify
RECODEā¢ provides a structured reboot path when execution stalls. It guides leaders to re-clarify outcomes, remove clutter, and reignite accountability through six disciplined resets, from decision rights to routines.
RECODEā¢ helps teams find their execution rhythm again ā especially after transformation
fatigue, leadership transitions, or shifting priorities.Ā Used after crises, scale-ups, or restructures, RECODEā¢ turns overwhelm into controlled acceleration.
These frameworks are being applied in leadership programs as Akin is scheduled to speak at Chicago Booth (Winter 2026), Naveen Jindal School of Management (November 27th), and in Kellogg School of Management (March 6th 2026). He has applied them at Shell, Virgin Atlantic, and other businesses across the world.
āWhat Akin did is open the mind to why change stalls. The concept of anĀ āExecution Operating SystemTMāĀ is brilliantā¦ his book is good for everyone who leads a business venture.ā
