The challenge

Village needed to formulate their corporate strategy and create understanding and buy-in among their employees at operational level.

How we solved it

After a number of strategy workshops among the leadership team – the key principles and philosophies as well as the operational imperatives were conceptualised as a set of Visual Strategy Maps per operation. These helped employees understand the big picture and gain a sense of ownership and involvement in executing their part of the strategy.

“Simplicity is what we wanted. And that is what was achieved through this process and the development of the Visual Strategy Maps. They make recall very easy as a picture is painted in one’s mind as opposed to several paragraphs of text”.
