Strategy trees enable you to create, develop, and communicate the strategic plan of your entire organization, or areas in your organization such as departments and offices.
Create a Strategy tree to divide high-level strategic goals into lower-level elements and actions for which business units or employees are responsible. This enables employees to understand how their efforts contribute to overall corporate strategy.
Attach scorecards to elements to monitor their progress. Two performance indicators and a scoring bar will display on each element to communicate performance levels. The first indicator represents current performance as evaluated by a scorecard. The second indicator represents the status of the lowest performing element associated with the element. The scoring bar at the bottom expresses the element performance level as a percent.
For example, the following map element has an acceptable, if lower performance level as indicated by the first, yellow, performance indicator. A lower level element associated with this element, has poor performance as represented by the second, red, performance indicator. The scoring bar indicates that current performance level is 81%.
Tip: | If areas of your organization use separate Strategy trees, you can link these maps together to represent how the strategy of each area forms an integrated corporate strategy. |
