Choosing a framework

Choosing a framework

Key takeaways

Frameworks are question lists; pick the one that matches the decision in front of you.
Porter’s Five Forces explains how attractive an industry is to compete in.
TAM, SAM and SOM size a market from the total down to what you can realistically win.
The three horizons balance today’s core business with tomorrow’s bets.
The 7S model shows why a good strategy fails when structure, systems or skills do not line up.

My take

A framework is only as good as the numbers inside it. A SWOT with no evidence is a list of opinions with a border round it.
