Advanced strategy goes beyond the headline choice. It shows how the organization will win over time.

Sequence the moves

A strong plan shows what happens first, second, and third. This proves feasibility.

Address capability gaps

Identify the capabilities required (data, sales, operations) and how you will build or buy them.

Use risk-adjusted logic

If two options have similar upside, pick the one with lower execution risk or faster learning.

Keep the narrative tight

The strategy should fit in three slides: the choice, the rationale, and the rollout.
