From Mission to Vision
Strategy Pyramid Canvas
Using the Strategy Pyramid Canvas you can develop a common corporate strategy in collaboration with your team to reach your objectives together. It assists you to find the right objectives and path for your company.
What is the Strategy Pyramid Canvas?
The Strategy Pyramid Canvas is a collaborative tool for defining or refining a company’s overarching strategy. It guides teams in identifying core values, crafting a compelling vision, shaping a mission that drives day-to-day actions, and setting milestones and guidelines that keep everyone aligned. By visually connecting these elements in a pyramid structure, you gain a clear map of where your organization wants to go, why it matters, and how you will get there.
A well-formed strategy increases the likelihood of achieving your long-term goals by establishing a coherent path, creating consensus among stakeholders, and ensuring that decisions made at every level reflect core values. The Strategy Pyramid Canvas is especially useful for engaging employees, shareholders, and key partners in the strategic planning process, facilitating both ownership and commitment to the final plan.

When to Use the Strategy Pyramid Canvas?
The Strategy Pyramid Canvas is particularly helpful in:
- Aligning Stakeholders Around a Common Direction:
Whether you’re starting a new venture or redefining your company’s focus, the canvas helps unify management, employees, partners, and investors by articulating shared values, vision, and mission. - Establishing Clear Milestones and Guidelines:
If you need to translate broad objectives into tangible targets and create principles that guide daily operations, the canvas provides a structured framework for doing so collaboratively. - Periodic Strategy Reviews:
When revisiting your corporate strategy during annual or semi-annual workshops, the canvas offers a succinct way to ensure values, vision, and mission remain relevant and that milestones and guidelines are updated appropriately.
By formulating a well-rounded strategy that addresses both the external perspective (customer and partner needs) and the internal perspective (employees’ and shareholders’ goals), organizations can foster alignment, focus resources effectively, and sustain momentum toward long-term success.
