Strategy Map
• Identify a company upon which to focus
• Clearly define the business strategy for your chosen organisation. Your strategy map should
aim to quickly communicate the big-picture objectives of the organisation to your reader.
• Present the information visually, for example:
Mission
Create groundbreaking sports innovations, make our products sustainably, build a creative and diverse global team, and make a positive impact in communities where
we live and work.
Vision
Bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world. *If you have a body, you are an athlete.
Objectives
Unleash human potential Transform manufacturing
Minimize environmental footprint
HR deliverables • Identify HR deliverables/outcomes from the strategy map and develop a HR strategy map, that
links back to the organisational map.
• Your map should allow anyone to understand HR's goals and deliverables in terms of corporate
strategy and to understand how the HR team intends to measure HR's deliverables.
• Your aim is to present HR as more than just an administrative function but instead as a critical
asset to the company.
• Focus on a single deliverable and flesh out that deliverable.
Mission
Create groundbreaking sports innovations, make our products sustainably, build a creative and diverse global team, and make a positive impact in communities where we
live and work.
Vision
Bring inspiration and innovation to every athlete* in the world. *If you have a body, you are an athlete.
Objectives
Unleash human potential Transform manufacturing
Minimize environmental footprint

A fair and equitable compensation and benefits programs
HR Architecture
• Explain how your HR architecture (policies, processes, and practices) will align, to allow HR
to deliver on your identified deliverable.
• You are not required to provide the specifics for each and every piece of HR architecture, just
provide high-level overview.

Aligning HR systems
• Explain how the HR architecture (policies, processes, and practices) for your identified
deliverable would align (horizontal alignment) with other pieces of HR architecture to
reinforce each other.
• When it comes to demonstrating the alignment between the HR architecture and the identified
deliverable, this is about marking it clear how the policies, practices and processes in step 3
feed into and support other HR activities/practices (that they work together, not in opposition
or as the literature puts it, they are in congruence).
