Strategy Focus Wheel — Where Investment Goes (Infographic)
Best for: a strategy slide that shows the handful of areas receiving investment this year Avoid when: the areas have budgets that must add up visibly (use a donut or table) Answers: what leadership chose to focus on, and what each focus area means in practice

Pitfalls
- ❌ Implying priority by sector size → ✅ sectors are equal; state explicitly that order is arbitrary
- ❌ Six or seven focus areas → ✅ a strategy with seven focuses has none
- ❌ Abstract nouns ("Excellence") → ✅ use phrases a team could put in a roadmap
