Business Strategy Frameworks
The frameworks for the bigger calls - where to compete, what to fix, and how to turn strategy into a brief a team can act on.
Get Who To By
The Get-Who-To-By framework is a fast, no-fluff way to turn strategy into action. Define who you're talking to, what you want them to do, and how you'll make them do it.
4C
The 4C Model is like the chill cousin of the 4Ps. Instead of focusing just on the business side, it flips the script and puts the customer right at the center.
4 Points Strategy
The OG of all frameworks. The 4 Points Strategy Framework is a simple yet powerful tool for building strategic clarity.

Playing to Win
Lafley & Martin's five cascading choices - winning aspiration, where to play, how to win, capabilities, systems. Strategy as linked choices, not a plan.
SWOT Analysis
Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats in one 2x2. The classic audit - useful as a prompt, dangerous as a to-do list. Make it decide something.

Stars, Cash Cows, Question Marks, Dogs. Plot the portfolio on growth vs share and decide what to feed, milk, or quietly put down.
Blue Ocean Strategy

Business Model Canvas
Your whole business on one page - nine blocks from key partners to revenue streams. The shared map for how the thing actually makes money.
Value Proposition Canvas

Eisenhower Matrix
Urgent vs important in a 2x2 - Do, Schedule, Delegate, Delete. The reason your to-do list is busy but never productive.
OKRs
One ambitious Objective, three measurable Key Results. Align a company on outcomes, not a wishlist of tasks - if you dodge the vanity trap.
