The thinking behind the tools
Strategy-to-Value System
The Strategy-to-Value System connects six decisions. Begin with the business result, then work through the capabilities, people implications and strategic choices needed to achieve it. Delivery and review complete the connection.
- 01Corporate outcomes
- 02Critical organisational capabilities
- 03Workforce and organisation implications
- 04HR strategic choices
- 05Delivery model and portfolio
- 06Evidenced value
The toolkit uses Discover, Diagnose, Design, Deliver and Review to organise the assignment. This delivery route supports the six decisions; it does not replace them.
