Get started

Create an account and learn how to start using Skhema.

Skhema is a strategy development platform that helps teams build comprehensive business strategies in days, not months. This guide walks you through creating your account, setting up your first workspace, and understanding the core concepts behind the Skhema Method.

Create your account

To get started with Skhema, visit and create an account. You can sign up using:
Email — Enter your email address, verify with a one-time code, and set a password
Google — Sign in with your Google account for one-click access
Microsoft — Sign in with your Microsoft account
ok
Signing up with a work email allows Skhema to automatically detect your organization, making workspace setup faster.

Complete onboarding

After creating your account, Skhema’s AI-guided onboarding will walk you through a short conversation to understand your business context. During onboarding, you’ll:
Share basic information about your organization and industry
Set up your account preferences
Discover which Skhema services fit your needs
Create your first workspace
The onboarding assistant uses your responses to tailor your Skhema experience, so the more context you provide, the better your starting point will be.

Set up your workspace

A workspace is where your team collaborates on strategy. Each workspace belongs to an organization and contains the strategies, registers, and data your team works with.
To set up your workspace:
Give your workspace a name (this also generates a unique URL slug)
Invite team members by email and assign roles — Admin for full control, or Member for standard access
Add workspace registers to organize your strategic elements
You can create multiple workspaces for different teams, business units, or strategic initiatives. See the Workspaces section for detailed guidance.

Understand the Skhema Method

The Skhema Method is a prescriptive framework for formulating business strategy. It breaks strategy development into five interconnected components:
Business Diagnosis — Identify key challenges, gather supporting facts, and assess their associated impact on your organization
Method & Positioning — Define your guiding policy, analyze competitor moves, set your strategic scope, and acknowledge constraints
Portfolio of Initiatives — Explore solution alternatives, form assumptions and hypotheses, design experiments, plan actions, and detail investment and estimates
Measures — Establish baselines, set target outcomes, and define performance variables to track progress
Support Structures — Identify required capabilities, management systems, and guiding principles
Each component is made up of elements that can be linked across components. For example, a supporting fact can relate to multiple key challenges, creating a connected thread that illustrates your decision-making process. See The Skhema Method section for a deep dive into each component.
