StrategyFrame®: The smart way to make strategy work
In uncertain times, only one thing is certain: Hope is not a strategy, and a forward-looking focus is more important for companies than ever before. At the same time, strategizing represents an immense feat of strength for entrepreneurs, executives and employees.
That is why Christian Underwood and Professor Jürgen Weigand have developed the StrategyFrame®. It brings order to the strategy process and creates a clear and comprehensible picture of the realignment through joint work. In the process, strategic know-how and momentum is generated among all participants and stakeholders.
