This may mean going back to your introduction and adjusting it so that the strategy in your conclusion matches the one used in the introduction. When you are finished, write a different version of your conclusion using a different strategy. Which one do you prefer? Which one does a better job of situating your argument in a scholarly discussion? Which one does a better job of providing a final argument for your essay?
