MAKING STRATEGY

WORK

Frame the choice Convert issues into at least two mutually independent options that might resolve the problem

Generate strategic possibilities Broaden the list to ensure consideration of an inclusive list of possibilities

Specify conditions For each possibility, specify which conditions must hold true for it to be strategically sound

Identify barriers to choice Determine which conditions you feel least confident are true

Design valid tests For each key barrier, design a valid test sufficient for generating commitment

Conduct tests Conduct hypothesis-driven analysis, testing the conditions with the lowest confidence first

Choose Compare test results to key conditions and make informed choices
