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.
The Classic approach to strategy is applicable in stable, predictable market environments. It focuses on effective organizational positioning within attractive markets, leveraging advantages from superior scale, differentiation, or specialized capabilities. This strategy is best employed in markets with established competition and minimal disruption risks, indicated by high returns to scale, stable business models, and modest growth rates. Execution follows a structured three-phase process: Analysis and Design, Planning and Strategy Formulation, and Strategy Execution. This involves assessing market attractiveness, understanding competitive dynamics, and evaluating the firm's position to forecast the targeted position and outline necessary steps for achievement.
This PPT slide outlines a framework for adaptive strategy, emphasizing agility in unpredictable environments. The directive "Be Fast" highlights the importance of rapid response in dynamic market conditions. Key indicators include volatile growth, limited concentration, a young industry, and high technological change, necessitating quick pivots to capitalize on opportunities and navigate risks. The execution approach consists of 3 steps: Vary, Select, and Scale Up, promoting a flexible implementation strategy. The slide warns against "Planning the unplannable," stressing the futility of predicting every variable in fast-changing landscapes. Relevant industries include semi-conductors and textile retail, with case examples like Tata Consultancy Services and 3M illustrating successful application of these adaptive strategies.
The "Leader Approach" positions organizations as orchestrators in unpredictable environments, essential for navigating complex networks and ecosystems. This approach is vital in fragmented industries lacking dominant players and evolving regulatory conditions. Key challenges include fragmentation and the absence of a single platform, necessitating a flexible strategy that adapts to market dynamics. The execution involves 3 phases: Engage, Orchestrate, and Evolve. A caution against being "over managed" highlights that excessive control can hinder innovation and responsiveness in fast-changing markets. Relevant industries include software and smartphone applications, with case examples from Apple and Novo Nordisk demonstrating real-world applicability of these principles. This structured methodology enables organizations to thrive by leveraging their orchestrator role.
This PPT slide outlines classic strategy frameworks, focusing on the theme "Be Big," which emphasizes scaling in stable markets. The execution approach consists of 3 phases: Analyze, Plan, and Execute, highlighting the importance of thorough analysis before planning and execution. A caution against "Over application" warns that frameworks should be applied flexibly, considering specific contexts. Key indicators for success include low growth, high concentration, mature industries, and stable regulation. Relevant industries include utility, automobile, and oil and gas. Related frameworks mentioned are Porter’s Five Forces, BCG Matrix, and the Consolidation-Endgame Curve. Case examples like P&G and Mars illustrate real-world applications, enhancing credibility and relevance for strategic framework formulation.
The Visionary approach enables organizations to identify and seize industry-shaping opportunities with predictability. It should be employed when firms can influence or redefine an industry, particularly in adaptable environments where competitors lack a shared vision. Key conditions include recognizing emerging market trends or technological changes and addressing customer dissatisfaction that may create new markets. Successful execution relies on timing and involves a three-step process: Envisaging, Building, and Persisting. Organizations must identify opportunities through technological advancements or unmet customer needs, be first to market with solutions, and maintain persistence while adapting to challenges. This structured approach guides firms in innovating and leading their industries.
This PPT slide outlines the Renewal approach to strategy, essential in challenging business environments. It rejuvenates a firm's vitality and operational effectiveness when traditional methods fail. The first step involves a significant shift in direction to effectively preserve and allocate resources, transitioning from survival to growth. Organizations should employ this approach when facing adverse market conditions, indicated by declining margins, reduced sales growth, and diminishing cash flow, signaling long-term viability risks. Prompt execution is critical; identifying and responding to deteriorating conditions enhances recovery chances. This may involve cost-cutting and reallocating resources for future growth initiatives. Organizations should realign their strategic direction, potentially pivoting to one of the 4 strategies outlined in the Strategy Framework Canvas.
