Executive summary

The fishbone diagram organises the possible causes of a problem into categories (often the 6Ms) so a team can explore causes systematically before fixing. This is the Fishbone (Ishikawa) Diagram from the Stratenity Library, a governed strategic execution asset that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for fishbone diagram, and it walks through everything from defining the effect precisely to prioritising the candidate causes. Every asset ships with a worked client example, a clear RACI, defined KPIs, and governance you can defend, so your team adapts it to a live client engagement instead of starting from a blank page.
