Make the strategic choice route graphic

Is this route for you?

Start here if you set project priorities, prepare business proposals or want to connect your team’s work to the company’s direction.

Working faster does not establish a direction. This route starts with the customer you choose, the value you offer and what you decide to give up before moving to execution.

Make a choice, give something up

Example reflection exercise: A small team promises both low prices and personalised service. Which customer group would you focus on? What would you stop doing because of that choice?

  1. Program 01

    Introduction to strategy

    Foundational: you separate strategy from operations, read cost and premium positions as complete activity systems, and turn a corporate goal into decisions for your own unit. By the end of this program you can label a discussion as strategic or operational, test a plan for real trade-offs, and translate a strategy sentence into your team's KPIs and priorities.

    • What does strategy solve?
    • Low cost or premium value?
    • Fit and dynamic consistency
