Strategy types & guides
Cogliva covers 18 strategy types across six families. Each type is backed by its own methodology, so the New Strategy Wizard adapts its questions and guidance to the kind of strategy you are building. Explore each type below.
Enterprise & time-horizon
Whole-organization direction and period-based planning: full business, annual, and multi-year strategies.
Full business strategy
A full business strategy sets whole-organization direction — where you play, how you win, and what you will do about it. Learn the structure and how to build one.
Read the guideAnnual strategy
An annual strategy turns long-term direction into this year's priorities, objectives, and commitments. Learn how to make a one-year plan that actually drives execution.
Read the guideMulti-year strategy
A multi-year strategy sets direction over a three-to-five-year horizon and sequences the moves to get there. Learn how to build one that stays adaptable.
Read the guideMarket & commercial
How the organization grows, positions, and wins in its markets: growth, go-to-market, market entry, differentiation, customer, and product/service strategies.
Growth strategy
A growth strategy chooses where and how the organization will grow — markets, segments, and growth engines. Learn how to build a focused, evidence-based growth plan.
Read the guideGo-to-market strategy
A go-to-market strategy defines how an offer reaches, wins, and keeps customers — segments, positioning, channels, and motion. Learn how to build one that converts.
Read the guideMarket entry strategy
A market entry strategy plans how to enter a new market or geography — mode of entry, sequencing, and risk. Learn how to enter without overextending.
Read the guideDifferentiation strategy
A differentiation strategy defines what makes you meaningfully different and hard to copy. Learn how to build advantage customers value and will pay for.
Read the guideCustomer strategy
A customer strategy defines which customers you serve, how you win and keep them, and how you grow their value. Learn how to build one around real customer needs.
Read the guideProduct or service strategy
A product or service strategy defines what you offer, for whom, and how it wins — the roadmap, positioning, and value that make an offer succeed. Learn how to build one.
Read the guideTransformation & capability
Building new capability and changing how the organization operates: digital transformation, AI, operational improvement, and innovation strategies.
Digital transformation strategy
A digital transformation strategy changes how the organization operates and creates value using technology. Learn how to make it about outcomes, not tools.
