The Galbraith Star Model in StratEngine tests whether the way a company is organized supports its strategy. It reviews strategy, structure, processes, rewards and people, then recommends what to change so they work together. It needs the Professional plan or pay-as-you-go.
The Galbraith Star Model carries the Advanced badge. It’s included on the Professional plan and higher, and pay-as-you-go accounts can run it per analysis. On other plans its card shows Upgrade instead of Select. See Strategy plans and pricing.

​
When to use it

  • You’re redesigning the organization to support a new strategy.
  • Incentives or reporting lines seem to work against what leadership is asking for.
  • You want concrete redesign recommendations, not only a diagnosis.

​
What you get

The Components tab has a Framework Summary and these Framework Details sections:
  • Strategy
  • Structure
  • Processes
  • Rewards
  • People
  • Strategic Recommendations
Every section is editable, and Sources lists what the analysis cited. Standard and Deep runs also fill the Momentum tab (trends affecting the company), which means Essential and higher plans, or pay-as-you-go at Standard or Deep. Deep runs add the Assumptions tab (what the analysis depends on, by risk), which means Professional, or pay-as-you-go at Deep. See Work with framework results and Analysis depth.
