Strategy framework for start-ups There are many different frameworks for business strategy, but most are designed for large, complex organizations and therefore tend to be too complicated for startups. A simple strategy framework that is well adapted to startups consists of the following four layers in the image 1️⃣Vision: The long-term aspirational goal or ultimate destination for the company. 2️⃣Mission: A concise statement outlining the company's purpose, what it does, and for whom. 3️⃣ Key Strategies: The core approaches and initiatives the company will pursue to achieve its vision and mission. 4️⃣Annual OKRs (Objectives and Key Results): For early-stage startups, these define specific, measurable plans and priorities for the upcoming year, ensuring focus and accountability.

Annual Strategy Offsite Sessions: Dedicated time to review progress, assess the market, and refine strategic direction. 2.Board Alignment: Ensuring that the board of directors is fully aligned with and supportive of the chosen strategy. 3.Budget Planning: Allocating resources to support the strategic initiatives. 4.Annual Kick-off Sessions: Communicating the refreshed strategy and OKRs to the entire team. 5.Quarterly Update Sessions: Regular check-ins to review progress, make adjustments, and maintain momentum. Board Involvement in Strategy The board of directors is the highest governance group of any company. Properly and systematically managing boards and board processes is crucial, especially regarding strategy discussions. Board involvement ensures accountability and provides valuable guidance.
