Feeling frustrated by any of the following:

You are not alone!

It’s not easy to get employees at all levels to understand and act on the business strategy.

Unless you have the right tools!

Our tried and tested approach solves this problem.

We know what it feels like to doubt if your messages are getting through.

For more than 20 years we have worked with leaders to get their business strategy understood and owned by employees. We have pioneered and refined a ‘strategy to story’ methodology – combining the power of visuals, storytelling and interactive discussion.

It beats all other internal communication channels hands down!

What is a Visual Strategy Map (VSM)?

THE VISUAL MAKES SENSE

A VSM simplifies, integrates and makes sense of ALL strategic and operational initiatives.

THE STORY IS MEMORABLE

By using a compelling analogy (in this case summitting a mountain), a VSM makes the abstract concrete and more memorable.

THE CONVERSATIONS ARE REAL TIME

A VSM is a powerful tool for leaders to conduct real time conversations about strategic and culture issues in the business.

Let's make it happen:

Here’s what some of our clients have to say:

Shortly after we had completed significant merger and acquisition transaction, THINKspiration created a Visual Map for Seriti Resources which we used to align hearts and minds of all employees, communicate our strategy, culture and operational initiatives to all. The Map triggered quality conversations among employees, facilitated by leaders at all levels, which resulted in buy-in and alignment. This process was so effective that we subsequently went on to develop a series of Safety Culture Maps which were customised for each operation AND consistent with our overall corporate safety culture messaging - the best of both worlds! Our safety statistics improved dramatically, so did our employee engagement levels – resulting in us being asked to present our safety interventions to the Minerals Council in 2024. The Maps enabled leadership to role model company values, show employees we care and were a key component of our safety success.

Chevrah Kadisha is the largest social welfare organization in the Southern hemisphere. We were fortunate to have installed our Visual Strategy Map in the organization about 12 months prior to the Covid 19 pandemic. We have a diverse workforce and it really helped having a strong, united culture and shared vision going into the pandemic I sincerely believe that our Map and the conversations that it triggered throughout our organization enabled us to pursue a clear strategy underpinned by a shared culture which not only saved livelihoods but also ultimately saved lives. We emerged from the pandemic with a stronger and more united workforce and a renewed sense of purpose. One day we will do the case study! PS: we still use our Visual Map (created in 2019) as part of induction and in my regular staff newsletter (each edition features a different snippet).

During my tenure as CEO of DRA Global we appointed THINKspiration to support us in creating a Visual Strategy Map to align, engage, and get all employees across 5 continents, excited about our strategy, culture and operational initiatives.

Thanks in no small part to our Visual Strategy Map we were able to successfully develop and implement our strategy to globalize the organization. At the time, the people of the organization were unclear on the path forward and the leadership was conflicted and lacked the necessary focus.

Not only did this methodology enable us to achieve organic growth and expansion, it got the leadership focus we required and got the people of the organization motivated and empowered to accomplish the organizations ambitions.

The entire process of creating the vivid vision and strategic story for the organization was a huge success in helping the company grow the revenue base and transform our business from an inward focused private company towards a successful global organization.
