SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Structuring ambiguous strategic problems is hard without a proven framework. This Skill provides nine established consulting frameworks from McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Deloitte so you can diagnose organizational alignment, classify portfolios, map profit pools, and build executive-ready storylines without reinventing methodology. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Framework Registry: Nine frameworks including 7-S Alignment, Three Horizons, Nine-Box Matrix, Profit Pool, BCG Growth-Share Matrix, Strategic Choice Cascade, MECE Issue Trees, Pyramid Storylines, and Bain Management Tools Survey. - Guided Selection: Decision guidance maps each framework to its use case, from organizational assessment to portfolio decisions to executive communication. - Optional Data Integration: Pulls company and deal context from Nexus MCP and BigData.com when available, with a manual data fallback. - Use Case: A PE operating partner evaluating a portfolio company runs an Issue Tree to decompose the growth problem, applies the Growth-Share Matrix to classify business units, then uses the Storyline Builder to present findings to the board. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to apply the McKinsey 7-S framework to diagnose organizational alignment at your portfolio company, providing company context directly or via connected data sources.

Frequently Asked Questions about consulting-strategy

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I choose between the BCG Growth-Share Matrix and the GE-McKinsey Nine-Box?▼

Use the Growth-Share Matrix for quick portfolio classification using market growth and relative share. Use the Nine-Box Matrix when you need a more nuanced 3x3 assessment of industry attractiveness versus competitive strength across multiple factors.

How do I build a MECE issue tree for a business problem?▼

Start with the core problem statement, then decompose it into branches that are mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive. Each branch becomes a testable hypothesis, and you continue splitting until issues are specific enough to analyze with data.

What is the McKinsey 7-S framework used for?▼

The 7-S framework diagnoses organizational alignment across seven elements: strategy, structure, systems, shared values, skills, style, and staff. It identifies misalignment between what the organization plans to do and how it actually operates.

Does this strategy skill require external data connections?▼

No, all frameworks work with manually provided company and market data. Nexus MCP and BigData.com connections are optional enhancements that supply portfolio, deal, and market context automatically.

When should I use the Strategic Choice Cascade instead of Three Horizons?▼

Use the Strategic Choice Cascade when designing a complete strategy from scratch through five sequential questions. Use Three Horizons when prioritizing and timing growth initiatives across near-term, mid-term, and long-term portfolios.
