Strategy boards

Challenge

Traditional strategic planning tools force you into rigid, linear processes that don't reflect the complexity of today's business environment. Leaders need a more flexible way to explore strategic options, generate insights, and test different approaches.

Solution

Strategy Boards provides an intuitive visual workspace where you can map multiple strategic pathways, generate AI-powered insights, and stress-test different approaches. Simply connect strategic nodes - from trend analysis to scenario planning - and let Portage guide you through generating powerful strategic insights.

How It Works: The Node System

Boards are made up of a number of different nodes which help you work through your strategic analysis, step by step. Here's a brief overview of the node types:

1. Foundation Nodes
   • Strategic Profile: Define your organisation's core elements and goals
   • Focus Question: Frame your strategic challenge
   • Files: Upload and analyse relevant documents
2. Analysis Nodes
   • Trend Search: Discover relevant trends from curated databases
   • Scenario Generator: Create multiple future scenarios using 2x2 Matrix, Scenario Field, and 4 Narrative approaches.
   • Impact Assessment: Evaluate scenario impacts on your strategy
3. Action Nodes
   • Course of Action: Define specific strategic responses
   • Stress Test: Evaluate how well strategies perform across scenarios
   • Robust Strategy: Consolidate actions into a cohesive strategy
   • Content Generator: Generate email memos, executive briefs, long reports* and presentation slides*.

Simply connect nodes to build your strategic analysis. Each connection creates a logical flow of information, with Portage guiding you through the generation of insights and recommendations.
