The Low Fidelity Strategy Hypothesis tool serves as the foundational starting point for systematic strategy development within Growth Forge's innovation management platform. This tool guides teams through the critical early stages of strategy formulation by providing a structured framework for articulating, modeling, and evaluating new product or business strategy concepts before significant resource investment occurs. Rather than diving immediately into detailed planning, the tool emphasizes rapid hypothesis formation that captures the essential strategic elements while maintaining the flexibility needed for iterative refinement.
Built around BRI's proven methodology for corporate innovation, the tool implements a disciplined five-step process that moves teams from initial strategic goals through evidence-based decision making. The approach recognizes that successful innovation requires balancing speed with rigor—enabling teams to quickly test fundamental assumptions while ensuring comprehensive evaluation across the three critical dimensions of any viable strategy: desirability, feasibility, and viability. By operating at low fidelity initially, teams can efficiently explore multiple strategic options and pivot based on learning rather than becoming prematurely committed to a single approach.
