Strategy Templates

What a strategy template actually is

A strategy template isn't a slide layout — it's a structured way of thinking that has been pressure-tested across hundreds of client engagements. Each of our templates encodes the sequence of analyses, decisions, and evidence a consulting team would walk a leadership client through: the hypothesis, the data it would need, the frameworks that sharpen it, and the form of recommendation that earns buy-in.

When you pick a template and describe your situation, Stratrix does the work a junior consultant would normally do: apply the right frameworks to your context, generate the supporting analysis, stitch the narrative, and render a presentation that reads like it came from a top-tier firm. You stay in control of the strategic judgment calls; the template takes the production burden off your plate.

How to choose the right template

Start from the decision you're trying to enable, not the deck you want to build. A go-to-market plan is for launching a product or entering a market; it leans on segmentation, positioning, and channel economics. A corporate strategy template is for portfolio- level choices on where to play and where to divest. An investor deck is for raising capital — same business, very different narrative arc and emphasis. An operating-model template is for turning a strategy into organizational commitments: roles, rituals, metrics, and decision rights.

The framework chips on each card show which methodologies that template draws on — Porter's Five Forces, Jobs-to-be-Done, McKinsey 7S, BCG Matrix, and so on. If you want to understand any of them in depth before you commit, the Management Frameworks library has a full guide for each. Premium (Pro) templates include advanced analyses — scenario modeling, competitor deep dives, financial builds — that the free tier doesn't.
