The living strategy platform that makes every assumption visible, catches drift early, and keeps your plan alive and winning.
StrategyGrip is a stewardship layer for corporate mid-market strategies. It tracks the choices, assumptions, signals and leadership conviction behind your plan — so the strategy stays alive between board reviews and reopens at the right moment when the world moves.
What it is
StrategyGrip turns scattered strategy — assumptions in PowerPoint, initiatives in spreadsheets, signals in inboxes — into one inspectable, always-current logic.
It flags drift before results show the cracks.
Who it's for
Running the company against a strategy you set last year and still need to keep current.
Owning the cascade, the assumptions, and the briefings the board sees.
Tracking the value-creation thesis across a portfolio, not just one deal.
Making the plan land while signals shift week to week.

Questions
A living strategy platform. It keeps the strategic choices, assumptions, initiatives, external signals and leadership conviction connected after the strategy deck is finished — so the plan stays alive and inspectable between board reviews.
Senior strategy stewards in mid-market companies (€50–500 mln revenue): CEOs, CFOs, CSOs, strategy directors and transformation leads. Typically a company that has completed a strategy refresh in the last 6–24 months and wants the work to stay current without rebuilding the deck every quarter.
OKR tools track execution against goals. StrategyGrip sits one layer above: it tracks the strategic choices themselves, the assumptions underneath each choice, and the external signals that might invalidate them. The cascade is grounded in Lafley & Martin's Playing to Win framework rather than goal-trees. It's the layer between the strategy deck and the OKR tool — not a replacement for either.
Generic strategy and OKR platforms are designed for enterprise rollouts to thousands of users. StrategyGrip is calmer, more senior, and built around two ideas conventional platforms omit: a working assumption-and-signal layer that flags when a strategic choice may need to be reopened, and a Conviction layer that captures whether leaders still believe in the aspiration. Most platforms track activity; StrategyGrip tracks whether the strategy is still right.

StrategyGrip reads external drivers (commodity prices via FRED, news via RSS) and lets you wire pre-committed triggers to them. It's designed to sit alongside your existing OKR tool, board portal and BI stack — not replace them. Direct integrations with specific OKR platforms are on the roadmap; contact us for the current state.
Each strategic choice carries the heroic assumptions underneath it — the things that must be true for the choice to work. Assumptions have an owner, a status (untested / supported / under pressure / refuted), and a review cadence. External drivers can be wired to numeric triggers; when a driver crosses a pre-committed threshold, a signal lands on the strategy owner's home page asking whether the underlying assumption is still valid.
Strategies don't only fail because choices were wrong or assumptions shifted. They also fail because leadership stops believing, teams comply without conviction, or the trade-offs were never genuinely accepted. StrategyGrip captures this layer through a per-leader pulse on aspiration inspiration and a trade-off acceptance check on each choice. Observed, never scored — because scoring conviction destroys it.
