Does the strategy of your organization result in a lack of competitive advantage? Does the strategy provide insufficient direction? And do your employees lack focus on key priorities? The Strategy Canvas offers the solution.
The Strategy Canvas
Most organizations are convinced that their strategy is crystal clear, but reality is less sunny. The Strategy Canvas offers you guidance in making conscious, well-funded, and solid strategic decisions, thereby matching the competences of your organization with the market developments and needs. Decisions that secure organizational purpose, the reason why the organization exists. In an approachable way, the authors lead you through the four phases in formulating your strategy: Define, Analyze, Match, and Decide.
Process of Strategy Formulation
Strategy formulation should not be considered a linear process, as you will feel the need to move between the various phases of the canvas. As long as the decisions you make are well-considered and consistent, and naturally fit together. The authors provide insight by giving many examples, and practical do’s and don’ts from their broad personal professional experience.
Working on a Strategy That Works
Being a director, manager, strategist or management consultant, The Strategy Canvas provides you a powerful tool. In a practical way, The Strategy Canvas helps you to achieve a sustainable competitive strategy, supported by your stakeholders. A strategy that provides clear and distinctive direction to your organization and thus offers a lever for change.

‘In a fast-changing world, an effective strategy is more important than ever. The Strategy Canvas helps you to create such a strategy. It is a practical book with clear examples.’
Sjors van Leeuwen, advisor, author and speaker on customer-driven entrepreneurship, strategy, and marketing
‘The Strategy Canvas aims to create some order in the chaos of models and canvases. The authors succeed in presenting all aspects of strategy in seven building blocks, in this compact publication. The true strength is in the combinations of the different tools and a clear sign when to use which tool. The book is carefully designed and offers many examples, making the book easy to read. If you struggle with starting formulating a strategy, or get stuck in the execution process, this book is a great help.’
Rick Lindeman, facilitator and design thinker, and founder and owner of the Facilitation Studio
