MECE, mutually exclusive, collectively exhaustive, structures a problem into issue trees with no gaps and no overlaps, so analysis is complete and non-redundant. This is the MECE and Issue Trees from the Stratenity Library, a governed consulting deliverable that is already built for you. It gives your team the full working method for MECE and issue trees, and it walks through everything from issue trees versus hypothesis trees to testing a tree for MECE. 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.
