Overview

Strategy decks often list competitors without choosing a position. This template walks from the market to a decision: where the market is going, how big your prize is, where rivals cluster, how you will be different, what you will do in which order, and what could stop you.

The sample follows a fictional recycled-packaging maker, Marlowe Green Manufacturing, in a $2.4B market growing 7% a year, targeting a 4% share by 2029. Slides carry action titles, a competitor matrix, a three-wave roadmap and five risks. Replace the market, competitors and figures with your own.

Useful for

  • A strategy team presenting a positioning choice to the executive committee
  • A board paper that explains where the company will compete and why it can win
  • An annual planning session that needs competitor evidence behind each move

What's included

  • Cover and a market map chart with three insights
  • Sizing slide with three headline numbers for the prize
  • Two-by-two competitor matrix and a slide on where each rival is weak
  • Differentiation slide with three proof points and a half-photo layout
  • Roadmap timeline of five moves and a five-row risk table
  • Make it yours guide slide and a closing slide with contacts

Questions

Are the organization, people and figures real?

No. Marlowe Green Manufacturing, the competitors, every person named and every figure are fictional sample data. Replace them with your own market information before you present.

How should I source the market figures?

Use a mix of industry reports, your own sales data and customer interviews, and name each source in the chart footnote. The sample says it is sample data; yours should name its sources.

What does the matrix show?

It places competitors on two axes, price and recycled content in the sample, and highlights the position you choose. Change the axes to the two factors your buyers care about most.
