A strategy day goes badly when the CEO arrives with a finished plan and directors can only agree or object. This deck does the opposite: it sets the context, lays out three options side by side, shows what each costs and risks, and ends on the questions the board must answer.

The sample follows Junipera Services, a fictional $38M services firm weighing hold, expand and diversify over three years, with investments phased 30/40/30. It includes an options grid, a risk and return matrix, a trade-off table and four questions. Replace the figures and options with your own.
