The Keystone Method: The New Blueprint for Corporate-Level Strategy

THE KEYSTONE METHOD

The New Blueprint for Corporate-Level Strategy

By Jon Ane

 

What if Strategy were not a collection of disconnected decisions, but a structured architecture of choices?

The Keystone Method presents Strategy as a Strategic Decision Architecture — a systematic process through which managers make interconnected Strategic Selections, choose Strategic Paths, and ultimately weave them into a Golden Path of Strategy.

At its heart is the G-POST — Golden Path of Strategy — the instrument that takes you through this architecture.

Across 36 Strategic Critical Dimensions (SCDs) and up to 247 Strategic Paths, the Method provides a panoramic view of the stra

tegic choices available to an organisation, while ensuring that each choice is considered in relation to those already made, the choices that follow, available resources, synergies and the organisation’s wider strategic direction.

Designed for CEOs, board members and senior management, The Keystone Method offers a systematic way to see the wood for the trees, connect the organisation’s moving parts and build a Strategy with a clear and coherent Golden Path.

The book also brings the paths to life through real-life business examples, drawn largely from client experience, with names changed where appropriate for confidentiality.
