Business frameworks are structured approaches to Problem Solving and Decision Making that are commonly used in the business world. They provide a set of concepts, principles, and tools that can be applied to a wide range of business problems and issues. By using business frameworks, we can provide a clear, organized, systematic, holistic, and efficient way of thinking about our specific business problems or issues—as well as better understand and implement the resultant solutions.

There is a wide, diverse variety of business frameworks that can be used by business leaders, depending on the specific problem or challenge they are trying to address.
