Within the Financial Sector, most Corporate Strategies tend to be emergent due to the changing dynamics of the markets in which they operate.

A corporate strategy will therefore tend to be documented at a high level. To most staff within an organisation this could be perceived as aspirational rather than something more tangible and relevant to their day-to-day activities. Staff may appreciate the high level direction but will not be able to relate to this within the context of their role or the role of their department. This provides a significant risk to the organisation in the implementation of their corporate strategy.

Corporate Strategy Mapping is about extracting at key levels throughout an organisation the key drivers and dependencies at that level and presenting this in a simple consolidated form for validation and subsequent communication.

Providing a more detailed understanding of the key drivers and dependencies in support of the strategy implementation will provide significant strategic and operational benefits eg

• The ability for all staff to understand how the strategy relates to them and their department.
• The opportunity for increased departmental teamwork on the now tangible goals at the middle and lower levels.
• The opportunity to validate and monitor at a more detailed level the implementation of the strategy throughout the organisation.
• Increased staff engagement through improved communication.

Within the context of the resilience of your business it provides you with the opportunity to invest in the improvement of your resilience in a more strategic way and should also provide you with the opportunity for increased operational performance.
