The first approach we offer here is a template based upon the five generic ‘combination' frameworks we developed in Part 2: the Environmental Ecosystem, the Competitive Spidergram, the Capability Radar, the Growth Options Heatmap and the Balanced Goals Envelope.

It contains space for using the ecosystem frame, or other frameworks from the ecosystem section of Part 2, to outline environmental opportunities and threats in the top-left corner. And space for utilizing positioning and capability frameworks, or the generic spidergram and radar, for determining capabilities and weaknesses, beneath this. In the centre is space for bringing these aspects together into a confrontation matrix or heatmap in the centre. And, importantly, given that strategy development frequently does not result in the determination of specific actionable objectives, there are spaces on the far right of the page for noting strategic goals that strike a balance between financial and people development concerns and short- and long-term objectives.
