The Strategy Framework Canvas is a methodology to help navigate through the sea of existing strategy frameworks. Since the 1950s, corporate strategy thinking has been evolving—new strategy frameworks are introduced each year. Today, there are literally 100s of strategy frameworks that have been developed by strategists, academics, and consulting firms.
The Strategy Framework Canvas is a unifying choice framework that guides us in selecting the appropriate strategy for the circumstances at hand and execute it effectively. It identifies 5 distinct approaches to strategy:
Each approach is driven by a unique business environment, characterized by 3 dimensions: Predictability, Malleability, and Harshness.
The Strategy Framework Canvas helps us determine which approach, or combination of approaches, is most appropriate for various facets of our organization—i.e., for different business units, geographies, and stage of our organization's lifecycle. This model is particularly useful for large organizations that are now stretched across a more diverse and faster-changing range of business situations.
The Strategy Framework Canvas Primer is a comprehensive guide that breaks down the five archetypal approaches to strategy: Classic, Adaptive, Visionary, Leader, and Renewal. Each approach is meticulously detailed, providing insights into the environments they best operate in and the key indicators that signal their applicability. The Classic approach, for instance, thrives in predictable and non-malleable environments, leveraging frameworks like Porter’s Five Forces and the BCG Matrix. In contrast, the Adaptive approach is designed for unpredictable and non-malleable environments, emphasizing continuous experimentation and real-time adjustments.
The PPT also delves into the Visionary approach, which is ideal for environments that are predictable and malleable, enabling organizations to be the first movers in new markets. The Leader approach focuses on shaping or reshaping industries through collaboration and ecosystem development, while the Renewal approach is tailored for harsh environments, aiming to restore organizational vitality through transformation and turnaround strategies. This primer is an essential tool for executives seeking to navigate complex strategic landscapes and tailor their approach to the unique challenges and opportunities their organizations face.

This PPT slide presents an overview of the Classic approach to strategy, emphasizing its application in stable and predictable market environments. The left section outlines the core principles of this approach, highlighting how it relies on positioning the organization effectively within an attractive market. It notes that the basis for advantage can stem from factors like superior scale, differentiation, or specialized capabilities. This positioning is crucial in environments where competition is well-defined and predictable.
The middle section discusses when to employ this Classic approach. It suggests that organizations should consider this strategy in markets characterized by established competition and minimal disruption risks. It identifies key indicators that signal a suitable environment for this approach, such as industries with high returns to scale, stable business models, and modest growth rates. This insight is vital for executives looking to navigate their strategic choices effectively.
The right section details the execution of the Classic approach, outlining a structured three-phase process typically followed by management consulting firms. This includes Analysis and Design, Planning and Strategy Formulation, and Strategy Execution. The focus here is on assessing market attractiveness, understanding the competitive dynamics, and evaluating the firm's position. The resulting strategic plan is designed to forecast the targeted position and outline the necessary steps to achieve it.
Overall, the slide serves as a comprehensive guide for executives contemplating the Classic approach, providing clarity on its application, execution, and the market conditions that favor its use.
This PPT slide presents a framework for adaptive strategy, emphasizing the need for agility in unpredictable environments. The core idea is encapsulated in the directive "Be Fast," highlighting the importance of rapid response in dynamic market conditions. The environment is characterized as unpredictable and nonmalleable, suggesting that traditional planning methods may not suffice.
Key indicators are outlined, including volatile growth, limited concentration, a young industry, and high technological change. These factors indicate that businesses must be prepared to pivot quickly and effectively to capitalize on emerging opportunities and navigate risks.
The execution approach is broken down into 3 actionable steps: Vary, Select, and Scale Up. This sequence suggests a methodical yet flexible strategy for implementation. The slide warns against the pitfall of "Planning the unplannable," which underscores the futility of attempting to predict every variable in a fast-changing landscape.
Relevant industries such as semi-conductors and textile retail are mentioned, indicating where these adaptive strategies may be particularly applicable. Case examples, including Tata Consultancy Services and 3M, serve to illustrate successful application of these frameworks in real-world scenarios.
Overall, this slide serves as a guide for executives looking to enhance their strategic approach in environments marked by uncertainty and rapid change. It encourages a mindset shift from rigid planning to a more fluid, responsive strategy that can adapt to evolving market conditions.
This PPT slide outlines the "Leader Approach," emphasizing the importance of being an orchestrator within unpredictable and malleable environments. The core idea is to position oneself as a central figure who can effectively navigate complex networks, ecosystems, and platforms. This approach is particularly relevant in industries characterized by fragmentation and the absence of dominant players, where regulatory conditions are still forming.
Key indicators highlight the challenges faced in such environments, including fragmentation and the lack of a single, dominant platform. These factors necessitate a flexible strategy that can adapt to shifting market dynamics. The execution approach is broken down into 3 phases: Engage, Orchestrate, and Evolve. Each phase represents a critical step in successfully implementing the Leader Approach.
A notable caution is provided regarding the pitfall of being "over managed." This suggests that excessive control can stifle innovation and responsiveness, which are vital in fast-changing markets. The slide also identifies relevant industries, such as software and smartphone applications, where this approach can be particularly effective.
Case examples, including Apple and Novo Nordisk, illustrate how leading companies have successfully applied these principles. These examples serve as practical references for potential customers, showcasing the real-world applicability of the framework. Overall, the slide presents a structured methodology for organizations looking to thrive in dynamic environments by leveraging their role as orchestrators.
This PPT slide outlines classic strategy frameworks, highlighting their core elements and execution approaches. The central theme, "Be Big," suggests a focus on scaling within predictable and non-manageable environments. This implies a strategic orientation towards growth in stable markets where external factors are less volatile.
The execution approach is broken down into 3 phases: Analyze, Plan, and Execute. This structured methodology emphasizes the importance of thorough analysis before moving to planning and execution stages. However, a critical caution is noted: the pitfall of "Over application." This warns against the potential misuse of these frameworks, suggesting that while they are valuable, they should not be rigidly applied without consideration of specific contexts.
Key indicators for success in these frameworks include low growth, high concentration, mature industries, and stable regulation. These factors are essential for understanding the environment in which these strategies are most applicable. The slide also identifies relevant industries, such as utility, automobile, and oil and gas, indicating where these frameworks might be particularly effective.
Related frameworks are listed, including Porter’s Five Forces, BCG Matrix, and the Consolidation-Endgame Curve, among others. This suggests a comprehensive approach to strategy formulation, allowing for flexibility and adaptation based on specific business needs. The case examples provided, such as P&G and Mars, illustrate real-world applications of these frameworks, enhancing their credibility and relevance. Overall, this slide serves as a foundational overview for executives considering strategic frameworks for their organizations.
This PPT slide presents an overview of the Visionary approach, emphasizing its strategic significance for organizations aiming to create or reshape industries. It begins by asserting that this approach empowers firms to identify and seize opportunities with a degree of predictability, allowing them to pursue these opportunities with focused intent. The text highlights that while this scenario is rare, it can be extremely effective when executed properly.
The slide outlines key conditions under which the Visionary approach should be employed. It suggests that organizations should adopt this strategy when they perceive an opportunity to influence or redefine an industry, particularly when the outcome appears predictable and the environment is seen as adaptable. This adaptability is crucial, especially when competitors may not share the same vision. The text also notes that visionary circumstances can arise from recognizing emerging market trends or technological changes before competitors do, as well as addressing customer dissatisfaction that could lead to the emergence of new markets.
Execution of the Visionary approach is framed around the importance of timing. Successful firms leverage market gaps by engaging in a three-step process: Envisaging, Building, and Persisting. Initially, organizations must identify potential opportunities, often by acting on technological advancements or unmet customer needs. Following this, being the first to market with a solution is critical. Finally, the text underscores the necessity of persistence in pursuing goals while remaining adaptable to overcome challenges. This structured approach provides a roadmap for organizations looking to innovate and lead in their respective industries.
This PPT slide presents an overview of a Renewal approach to strategy, particularly relevant in harsh business environments. It emphasizes that this strategy is designed to rejuvenate a firm's vitality and operational effectiveness when traditional methods are no longer sustainable. The initial step involves a significant shift in direction to preserve and allocate resources effectively. This transition is crucial for moving from mere survival to actual growth.
The slide outlines specific conditions under which this approach should be employed. It highlights that organizations may face threats due to adverse market conditions, which can stem from a mismatch between their strategic initiatives and external or internal challenges. Indicators of distress, such as declining margins, reduced sales growth, and diminishing cash flow, signal that the organization’s long-term viability is at risk.
Execution of the Renewal approach is critical. The organization must promptly identify and respond to deteriorating conditions. The sooner these issues are addressed, the easier it will be to recover. This requires a focus on immediate financial viability, which may involve cost-cutting measures and freeing up resources for future growth initiatives. The slide concludes by suggesting that organizations should realign their strategic direction, potentially pivoting to one of the 4 other strategies outlined in the Strategy Framework Canvas. This comprehensive view provides valuable insights for executives considering a strategic overhaul in challenging times.
