Strategy Maps
Strategy maps were a visual representation of the strategic conversations that we are guiding in the region. Strategy maps are important because we are conducting strategic conversations in a number of different areas, and these conversations can get very detailed. In other words, it is easy to get lost. Strategy maps help us understand how to connect different conversations to one another, as well as to keep track of how these conversations are evolving. These maps also help new people join the conversations easily, as they are moving to the next level.
