25 years in the room where CEOs make the hard calls. A proven system for better decisions—and the results that follow.
Get in Touch
Most companies have motion without momentum. Executives are busy. Plans get made. But the strategic bets that should be driving EBITDA get lost in the noise.
Ask your executive team to write down your top three strategic priorities. Separately. No time to align.
Would you get the same answer?
Most CEOs I work with aren't missing strategy. They're missing traction. Something's stuck. I help unstick it—then install a system so it doesn't happen again.
Seven tools on two pages. A complete decision-making system published by Routledge. MOVE works with or without AI—it worked before ChatGPT existed. AI simply accelerates what MOVE already does: force clarity, align resources, drive execution.
Also by Tim Lewko: Making Big Decisions Better (Routledge, 2014) — the foundation that MOVE was built on.
"Tim doesn't offer another rebranded framework. He tackles the real problem leaders face today: strategy moves too slowly for the world we're operating in. His answer isn't to abandon strategy—but to change its cadence."
"This isn't AI as hype. It's AI as leverage. For leaders tired of annual plans that are obsolete by Q2, Move offers a credible, modern alternative."
A decision-making system refined over 25 years. Seven tools on two pages—MOVE 1–6 on the first, MOVE 7A and 7B on the second—each tied directly to P&L. Teams build it, believe it, execute it.
No 200-page decks. No months of study. Two-page outputs that create visible choices and measurable impact.
The thinking stays inside your organization. Not dependent on consultants who leave. You own the system.
Each tool ties directly to financial results. Strategy that shows up in EBITDA—or it doesn't belong.
"In a world where generative AI is rewriting the rules of strategy, MOVE is a blueprint for how companies must rethink their approach to stay competitive."
"I have never had a conversation with Tim where I have not learned something. He always gives me a sense of urgency."
"Tim has taken what I once believed to be unteachable—the instinctive thinking behind great strategy—and made it visible, accessible, and actionable."
"I've worked with Tim for almost 20 years on the framework of decisions that have successfully guided my business along the way."
"MOVE captures the practical, no-nonsense approach I experienced working with Tim—now enhanced with the power of GenAI."
"Tim's ability to simplify strategy, then turn it into living action, makes him one of my favorite strategy leaders."
"I've known Tim for over 25 years. He's one of the sharpest strategy minds I've worked with."
"Your book on the intersection of AI and strategy will be a groundbreaking addition to the field."
"In a world where speed is the new competitive advantage, this book is a powerful guide to staying ahead."
"The pace of business continues to increase, and AI will only accelerate it further. Tim's approach will benefit any company."
The tools are new. The strategic questions aren't. How MOVE integrates AI without losing what matters.
Read →Everyone has data. Almost nobody has the strategic decisions that should follow from it.
Read →Porter gave us the framework. Buffett showed us what to look for. MOVE makes it operational.
Read →Most franchise systems run one strategy for every location. The corporate deck gets presented, the playbook gets distributed, and 200 territories execute the same plan regardless of local conditions.
That's not strategy. That's compliance.
MOVE + AI enables localized strategic decisions at the territory level—each location gets its own assumptions surfaced, its own market reality checked, its own bets placed. Same system. Different answers. Because different markets have different truths.
Franchisors, PE-backed multi-unit platforms, and regional operators use this to drive unit economics without adding HQ overhead.
Companies where CEOs still drive strategy. Senior expertise without MBB overhead.
Value creation from acquisition through exit. Strategic clarity that accelerates the hold.
Territory-level strategic decisions for every location. Drive unit economics, align franchisees, scale without HQ overhead.
Global strategy, local execution. Align corporate direction with P&L accountability.
Governance that adds value. Strategy reviews that challenge and clarify.
Monthly strategic counsel for CEOs navigating growth, transformation, or market complexity. On-call access for the decisions that matter. Sounding board. Pattern recognition. Accelerated clarity.
Intensive facilitated sessions that take leadership teams from ambiguity to executable direction. Two days, not six months. Walk out with tools your team built, believes, and will execute.
Embed the MOVE system with AI to compress strategic decision cycles. Build internal capability for continuous strategy—not annual planning. Speed without sacrificing rigor.
Provocative, practical sessions for leadership teams, boards, and conferences. Strategy when AI is reshaping the landscape—but the questions remain.
A one-page diagnostic to test whether your leadership team is aligned on what matters. Use it Monday morning.
