Richard Rumelt
The North Star Metric measures the total amount of value delivered to the market. It’s an approximation, based on counting how much of the core value that the customers seek (for example messages sent, or insights gained) the company delivers per period. It’s best to measure as close as possible to the value experience, and yet keep the metric simple and understandable.

These include strategy maps, strategy canvases, the strategy blueprint, and the business model canvas and value proposition canvas. These tools complement and extend alignment diagrams.
