So you’ve figured out an inspiring North Star Metric. Your team is excited. But by design, a good North Star Metric is not immediately actionable. To operationalize the framework, it will be necessary to align on a set of key North Star Inputs.

While well-defined inputs are an essential part of the North Star Framework, they are often overlooked. During this session, John Cutler, co-author of the North Star Playbook, will share a foundation to **pick the right inputs across varying use cases** and **explore the importance of testing a flywheel hypothesis**.

As part of this deep dive, we will cover how to:

- Operationalize the North Star Framework with inputs
- Brainstorm and select inputs across a variety of use-cases
- Incorporate flywheels as an overlay to your inputs for a richer understanding of your strategy
