A friend just told me how he’s using StratNavApp.com to prepare for a job interview — and how the built-in AI is making the process surprisingly insightful.
I love hearing stories like this.
Because, while StratNavApp.com is designed to help organisations build and execute their own strategies, thinking strategically about an organisation has many other uses.
Other situations requiring a strategic take
👉 Preparing for a job interview.
👉 Deciding whether to accept a job offer.
👉 Asking for a promotion.
👉 Pitching to a potential B2B client.
👉 Considering investing in a business.
👉 Conducting due diligence for an M&A deal.
👉 Preparing for a board presentation or strategy day.
👉 Analysing a competitor’s positioning.
👉 Supporting a consulting engagement or case study.
👉 Planning your own career move or business pivot.
In all of these situations, taking a more strategic view could give you just the edge you need.
Thinking strategically doesn’t just help businesses make better decisions — it helps people make smarter ones too.
