Why StratNavApp.com Is the Best Strategy Software for Consultants

When you’re supporting clients with business strategy, the last thing you need is a jumble of documents, slides, and spreadsheets scattered across folders. Or tools that look good but don’t actually help you think. If that's still your approach, you risk getting left behind in the rapidly evolving world of strategy consulting.

StratNavApp.com was built for consultants like you. Here's why it's the best strategy development and execution software on the market—especially for small and mid-size practices.

Real-Time Collaboration Built In

Forget emailing documents back and forth. StratNavApp.com supports real-time collaboration. That means you, your team, and your clients can work on the same strategy at the same time. Updates, progress tracking, and inputs all happen in one place.

AI That Actually Helps You Think

Most tools just record what you already know.

StratNavApp.com does more. It uses AI to:

• Suggest insights based on your analysis.
• Suggest goals, objectives, KPIs and initiatives based on your insights.
• Suggest questions to as the client to enhance your understanding of their business.
• Summarise meetings to extract key actions and insights.
• Spot inconsistencies in your logic.

It also includes a Chatbot trained on how to develop and execute business strategy using all the tools StratNavApp.com puts at your disposal, making StratNavApp.com even easier to master.

This frees up time and helps you focus on delivering value, not formatting documents.

Works With the Tools You Already Use

StratNavApp.com integrates with the rest of your stack—so you can visualise data, manage tasks, and communicate without losing strategic context.

Easily Export

You can easily export your work at any time:

1. As individual images for inclusion in other documents.
2. As a customisable, fully formatted and cross-reference document containing just the sections you with to include.

Flexible and Affordable

If you're a smaller consultancy, pricing matters. StratNavApp.com offers a free version so you can try it without pressure—and scale up as your practice grows.

How you benefit

1. Scale your practice: Serve more clients, more quickly and with fewer resources whilst increasing quality and consistency.
2. Win more clients: Use StratNavApp.com to wow clients at your first meeting and win more business. See How to Use StratNavApp.com to Win Consulting Clients: Preparing for the First Client Meeting
3. Manage more retainers: strategy does end once its developed, and neither should your relationship with the client. By leaving the client with a working operating system of their strategy, you create more opportunities for retainers and follow-on work.

How It Compares

General-Purpose Tools

• MS-Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint) or the equivalents from other providers: You probably use these now. But they weren’t designed for strategy work. Everything has to be built from scratch. Nothing links together. It’s slow and error-prone.

• Miro and Mural: Great for brainstorming, but they don’t understand strategy. They’re digital whiteboards. Everything is a sticky note or a shape. These tools can’t recognise or analyse the relationships between objectives, KPIs, initiatives, and risks. You provide all the knowledge, thinking and understanding. The tool just draws it.

➡️ The problem with all these tools: they don’t know what they’re doing. They can’t help you think. They don’t offer any guidance, validation, or automation.

➡️ StratNavApp.com does. It understands strategy and helps you build and execute it smarter.

Strategy Execution Tools

There are other strategy execution tools out there. But they don't provide the specificity, power and value for money you get from StratNavApp.com.

They're more like project management reporting tools than they are fully fledged strategy tools.

They don't help you develop strategy, stay on track, or adjust your strategy if things don't turn out the way you anticipate.

• Cascade: Focused on strategy execution, but limited when it comes to deep analysis and strategic development.

• OnStrategy: Built for internal teams—not ideal if you’re managing multiple clients.

• Aha!: Excellent for product managers—not for broader business strategy.

• Smartsheet: Flexible, but requires a lot of setup to work as a strategy tool.

• Goalscape: Good for visualising goals—but lacks depth and structure.

• QPR Software: Powerful, but overwhelming unless you’re in a large enterprise.

➡️ StratNavApp.com gives you the structure and power of enterprise tools—without the complexity.
