Strategies

26 strategy types. Each ends in a decision you can sign.

Most strategy work stops at a recommendation. Ours stops at a decision: signed, sourced and ready to run. We group our work into 26 strategy types across 5 families. Each type has a named deliverable, so you know what you will hold at the end before we start.

The 5 families

5 families, 26 types

strategy1 offers 26 strategy types in 5 families: Growth & Market, Capital & Deals, Brand & Influence, Operations & Assets, and Future & Transformation. Each type answers one decision, from launch and pricing to IPO readiness and AI transformation, and ends in a signed decision memo with a red-team report and an evidence extract.

Hover or tab through the map to see what each type answers and what you hold at the end. Choose a family to filter the list below.

How every type is delivered

Same method, whichever type you choose

Every type runs on the S1 Method: Sense, Model, Simulate, Decide, Deploy, Learn. Humans hold the gates; AI does the heavy lifting between them. You approve the model, you choose the option, and your named owner accepts each action before it reaches your systems.
AI does
Runs the engine models, generates options and red-teams each one.
People do
A strategist sanity-checks the assumptions.
Output
An option set with scenarios and failure modes.

How we keep strategy honest

  1. 01

    Every number traceable.

    Each figure links to its source, date and confidence grade (A, B or C).

  2. 02

    Every plan red-teamed.

    Each strategy ships with its strongest counter-arguments and the conditions under which it fails.

  3. 03

    Signed where it matters.

    Domain Fellows, who are chartered engineers, CAs, lawyers and sector veterans, sign the parts that carry professional liability.

  4. 04

    Nothing written without approval.

    No decision reaches your systems until your named owner accepts it.

Questions

About strategy consulting at strategy1

What services does a strategy consulting firm offer?
A strategy consulting firm helps leaders make large decisions that are hard to reverse: where to grow, how to raise and allocate capital, how to position the brand, what to build and how to transform. strategy1 offers these as 26 strategy types, each with a named deliverable, so you know what you will hold before work starts.
What are the main types of business strategy?
Business strategy usually splits into growth (markets, launch and pricing), capital (raising, buying and allocating), brand and reputation, operations and assets, and transformation (AI, technology, energy and new ventures). strategy1 groups its 26 strategy types into these 5 families, and each family page lists its types and what each one delivers.
Which type of strategy does my company need?
Start from the decision you face, not from a list of services. If you know the decision, use the navigator on this page to filter the 26 types by family, engine or industry. If you do not, the free Strategy Readiness Scan takes 30–60 minutes and suggests the engine to start with.
