Organisational Strategy Map
Originally developed by Robert Kaplan and David Norton (1996) as part of the Balanced Scorecard framework, the Organisational Strategy Map visualises how an your mission and objectives translate into specific activities and measurable outcomes.

SIPOC Map
Originally developed through Lean Six Sigma, the SIPOC Map offers a high-level view of how value flows through an organisation: from suppliers and inputs to the processes that create outputs and ultimately deliver benefit to customers or beneficiaries.

It translates qualitative sentiment into usable data, helping leadership teams see whether the organisation is thriving, surviving or silently […]
Thinking in Bets
Inspired by the work of professional decision strategist Annie Duke, Thinking in Bets helps organisations make better choices under uncertainty. It reframes decisions not as right or wrong, but as probabilities to be managed and learned from. In our version, it becomes a practical decision-making framework for fundraisers and leadership teams. It separates outcome from […]
