Strategic Frameworks

4 guides for the decisions and work in this part of corporate development.

Strategic Framework for M&A

Turn company strategy into a few funded acquisition mandates, each costed against building, partnering, or waiting, and tested before any bid.

Competitive M&A Playbooks

Pick the acquisition playbook that fits your real advantage, predict how rivals will respond, and hold the price when an auction heats up.

Strategic Partnerships & Joint Ventures

Decide when a partnership or joint venture beats buying or building, then write terms that still work when the relationship breaks down.

Corporate Venture Investing & Minority Stakes

Take minority stakes only when equity beats a contract or an acquisition, model what the stake really pays, and judge learning apart from returns.
