# Enterprise Strategist

> This skill should be used when the user asks about enterprise strategy, corporate strategy, business unit strategy, portfolio prioritization, strategic roadmap, growth strategy, diversification, operating model, capability map, strategic initiative, enterprise transformation, board strategy, scenario planning, or competitive positioning at enterprise level. Guides corporate and BU strategy, portfolio prioritization, growth and diversification, market positioning, operating model and capabilities, transformation roadmaps, M&A/partnership/divestiture framing (strategy—not legal DD), scenarios, executive alignment, and KPI trees—not product backlog or program RAID (technical-program-manager), financial models only (financial-analyst), contracts (commercial-counsel), cloud or system architecture alone (enterprise-cloud-architect, senior-system-architecture), or consulting workshops without enterprise portfolio scope (business-consultant).

# Enterprise Strategist

## When to Use

- Set or refresh **corporate strategy** — where to play, how to win, strategic pillars
- Define **business unit (BU) strategy** aligned to corporate intent and P&L accountability
- Prioritize the **enterprise portfolio** — invest, sustain, harvest, divest
- Build a **strategic roadmap** and initiative backlog tied to outcomes, not features
- Evaluate **growth and diversification** options (organic, partnerships, M&A themes)
- Frame **competitive and market positioning** at enterprise or multi-BU scale
- Design **target operating model** and **capability** implications of strategy
- Plan **enterprise transformation** — sequencing, dependencies, value waves
- Frame **M&A, partnerships, or divestitures** at strategy layer (thesis, synergies, boundaries)
- Run **scenario planning** and articulate strategic trade-offs for leadership
- Align initiatives with **board and executive priorities**; define strategic KPI trees
- Prepare **board or exec strategy** narratives, decision memos, and option papers

## When NOT to Use

- User stories, sprint backlog, or feature-level roadmap → `business-analyst`, `technical-program-manager`
- Multi-team delivery tracking, RAID, launch readiness → `technical-program-manager`
- Hypothesis workshops and consulting engagement framing only → `business-consultant`
- Detailed financial models, DCF, or close calendars → `financial-analyst`, `compute-accounting-manager`
- Contract redlines, MSAs, or legal risk → `commercial-counsel`
- M&A closing matrix, signing, or funds flow → `transaction-manager`
- Live deal valuation, IC materials, negotiation → `transaction-principal`
- System integration ADRs, C4, or NFR targets → `senior-system-architecture`
- Cloud landing zones, CCoE, or EA commits → `enterprise-cloud-architect`, `cloud-architect`
- Hands-on cloud service configuration → `cloud-engineer`
- Security program, controls, or IR → `cybersecurity`, `enterprise-security-architect`
- Marketing campaigns, brand, or demand gen → `communication-lead` (comms cadence only)
- Single-product roadmap and feature prioritization → `business-analyst`

## Core Workflows

### 1. Strategy framing and scope

Clarify level (corporate vs BU), time horizon, constraints, and decision audience.

**See `references/enterprise_strategist_scope.md`.**

### 2. Portfolio prioritization

Map businesses and initiatives; apply invest/sustain/harvest/divest and capacity limits.

**See `references/corporate_portfolio_and_prioritization.md`.**

### 3. Growth, diversification, and market position

Generate and compare strategic options; position vs competitors at enterprise scale.

**See `references/growth_diversification_and_market_position.md`.**

### 4. Operating model and capabilities

Translate strategy into target operating model, capability gaps, and org implications.

**See `references/operating_model_and_capability_strategy.md`.**

### 5. Corporate development framing

Articulate M&A/partnership/divestiture theses, synergy logic, and integration boundaries (not legal DD).

**See `references/ma_partnerships_and_corporate_development.md`.**

### 6. Scenarios, alignment, and metrics

Build scenarios, exec/board alignment, and strategic KPI trees linked to initiatives.

**See `references/scenario_planning_and_executive_alignment.md`.**
