Why a One-Page Growth Framework?
Recent years have seen an understandable surge of interest in one-page strategic plans.
Few companies have the time to create a 50-page strategy, let alone use it as a guide to day-to-day decision-making.
A one-page plan, such as the Business Model Canvas or Verne Harnish's One-Page Strategic Plan, can pull together key elements of business strategy in a single view that any team member can understand.
The problem? Most lack a clear visual logic, making it hard to understand which elements are interdependent—let alone an easy way to update with new learnings.
The solution? Stop thinking "plan".
Think "framework".
Is the OGF for Me?
Like any tool, the One-Page Growth framework is not a substitute for the hard work of figuring out how to leverage your unfair edge into sustainable growth.
It's just a handy device for making that figuring a little easier, both to start and to maintain.
The OGF template brings together the key strategic information your team needs to execute and learn effectively, in a logical, visually-compelling, and easily-updatable format.
