How are we going to get there?
The strategy formulation is about how we are going to get there. This section presents
the strategic map of the plan and then links the identified strategic objectives with a series of
activities that are necessary to achieve them.
A.
Strategy map
The strategy map is a graphical representation of requirements in each of the four
scorecard perspectives in order to execute the identified strategies effectively (see figure I). The
strategy map gives an overview of how key stakeholders aim to achieve the desired vision. It
shows the chain of causes and effects that would lead to the desired strategic outcomes, which,
in turn, would bring the fulfilment of the desired vision and mission.
