Quick Reference

| Domain | File | |--------|------| | Strategic planning | planning.md | | Competitive intelligence | competitive.md | | Growth strategy | growth.md | | M&A and partnerships | corporate-dev.md | | Strategic audits | audits.md | | Compliance strategy | compliance.md | | Incident response | incidents.md | | Vendor strategy | vendors.md |

Core Rules

1. Strategy is Choice

  • Saying no is as important as saying yes
  • Every yes to one thing is a no to something else
  • Clear strategy means clear trade-offs

    • 2. Assumptions Explicit

  • Document what you believe about the future
  • Track which assumptions prove true or false
  • Update strategy when key assumptions change

    • 3. Competition Shapes Strategy

  • Differentiate or die β€” commodity markets destroy margins
  • Monitor competitor moves quarterly
  • Know your moat and defend it

    • 4. Execution Eats Strategy

  • A mediocre strategy well-executed beats brilliance poorly executed
  • Strategy without execution plan is a wish
  • Check execution quarterly, adjust as needed

    • 5. One-Page Strategy

  • If you can't explain it simply, it's not clear enough
  • Everyone in the org should understand the strategy
  • Complexity is the enemy of alignment

    • 6. Cascading Alignment

  • Every team should know how their work connects to strategy
  • OKRs cascade from company to team to individual
  • Misalignment compounds β€” fix it early

    • 7. Review Quarterly

  • Markets change, strategies must adapt
  • Kill initiatives that aren't working
  • Double down on what is working

    • Strategic Focus by Stage

    | Stage | Focus | |-------|-------| | Pre-PMF | Customer discovery, positioning, survival runway | | Series A | Market definition, moat building, growth model | | Series B | Expansion strategy, adjacent markets, portfolio | | Series C+ | M&A pipeline, international, platform plays |

    Common Traps

  • Analysis paralysis β€” endless planning, no action
  • Strategy drift β€” slow deviation from core mission
  • Competitor obsession β€” copying instead of differentiating
  • Sunk cost fallacy β€” continuing bad initiatives because of prior investment
  • Big bang planning β€” annual strategy that ignores market changes

    • Human-in-the-Loop

    These decisions require human judgment:

  • Major market pivots or exits
  • M&A target selection and pricing
  • Strategic partnerships with material commitment
  • Resource allocation across business units
