HOW TO READ AND FOLLOWOUR STRATEGIC ARTICULATION MAP
Our purpose is to develop and connect philanthropic leaders, interpret and influence public policy and activate and align foundation capital to make a transformational difference in all Georgia’s communities.
To align our strategic plan to our purpose, it helps to decompose this sentence into its 4 key parts. The first 3 elements describe what we will do. How we will act. Focus on the VERBS of each top row.
The final state is our impact. It’s our ‘why’. It’s what drives our action.
Over the next few pages, we will decompose each of these 4 elements using this approach. i. Strategic Priority – What is important about this element and why ii. Vision Snapshots – We use a THINK BIG, START SMALL AND SCALE FAST rhythm to set our aspirations. These describe what we aspire to see in 5 years, 1 year and 3 years respectively. iii. Our Differentiators declare what we will do differently that we’re not doing now. This gives us a sense of our change mandate. iv. Our Headline Indicators will measure our progress to let us know how well we’re moving towards our visions and aspirations. v. Our Critical Initiatives lay out what we’re going to do starting in 2022. It doesn’t yet indicate specific timing or priority. But it does illustrate what we must begin to do to create the vision.
