Strategic Assumptions

The underlying beliefs about markets, customers, technology, and competition that a strategy depends on being true.

Why it matters

Every strategy is built on assumptions — about customer behaviour, market dynamics, competitive positioning, and technology trajectories. When these assumptions go untracked, they become invisible debt that accumulates until the strategy collapses under its own unsupported weight. Making assumptions explicit and continuously validated is fundamental to strategic resilience.
