Addressing Complex and Cross-Boundary Challenges in Government: The Value of Strategy Mapping”

https://www.insightformation.com/ibm-report

The Need: “Leaders from all levels of government and across sectors need to develop new collaborative mechanisms to mobilize and address issues… that cut across jurisdictional and programmatic boundaries.”

A Key recommendation: “Lead agencies would use national strategy maps to create personalized services for each area of opportunity.” (p15)

The footnote for that statement includes a link to a video by Bill Barberg, explaining strategy maps.

“Strategy maps are a well-established tool for effective strategy management. They elevate the discussion from the merits, funding, and impact of individual programs and organizations to the system of intentional changes (the strategic objectives) that are most important for achieving significant and sustainable progress on complex social challenges. This approach helps to prompt teamwork and catalyze innovation around how the strategic objectives can best be accomplished. For an example, see https://vimeo.com/398352113/72ee431c34. ”(p15)
