The Strategy Map
You have the ideas. In 6 weeks we turn them into one clear plan your leadership team owns, then spend 6 more getting the first wins on the board.
A better way to do strategy
Strategy can be painful, slow and pointless. We've rebuilt the approach, drawing on 30+ strategy projects, to make it…
Faster
Strategy defined in 6 weeks (Sprint 1), with visible momentum by week 12 (Sprint 2).
Simpler
A step-by-step framework that keeps you focused and the critical decisions clear.
Tailored
Growth, survival or transformation: we tailor the approach to you.
Executed
Execution planning is built in, so strategy flows seamlessly into delivery.
The 6-week strategy sprint
Three half-day workshops bring your wider stakeholders together to explore, decide and plan. In between, a small core team keeps the work moving.
1Explore
Create a shared map of how your organisation creates value today, your external environment, and how it's shifting. Identify opportunities to do it better.
2Decide
Design a stronger model: create more value for those you serve, deliver it more effectively and build a sustainable organisation.
3Plan
Sequence the key actions and initiatives that will execute your strategy and deliver your goals.
Between sessions, Rob guides the team to synthesise each workshop, prepare the next and keep decisions moving, bringing the 3Ps:
Momentum sprint
A second 6-week sprint builds momentum and puts early wins on the board. By week 12, your strategy is defined, launched and delivering.
The Strategy Map
The challenge
Nunn Media Sydney had a strong track record of growth. But in a tougher, more uncertain market, the leadership team wanted clarity on how to keep momentum going, without overextending the business or relying on what had worked in the past.
The approach
A Core Strategy Team of three (the Managing Director, Head of Strategy and Rob as coach) owned the strategy end-to-end, meeting between workshops to keep decisions moving. The wider Leadership Team joined three half-day workshops, spaced three weeks apart, each with a clear purpose and outcome.
1Explore
The first workshop built a shared, fact-based view of the business and its environment. Using the Business Model Canvas, the team examined how Nunn Media creates value today, where growth was coming from and where the model was under pressure, and scanned the external trends shaping clients, customers and consumer behaviour.
The outcome was alignment on what was truly working, the risks ahead and the strategic questions that mattered most.
2Decide
The Core Strategy Team brought the draft strategy and key decisions to the wider Leadership Team for robust debate and refinement. The team tested how the strategy would create value for clients, what it required from the organisation and what it meant choosing not to do.
By the end of the session, the strategy had genuine leadership buy-in.
3Plan
The final workshop focused on execution. The Leadership Team translated the strategy into a clear plan, including:
- A small set of meaningful metrics in a shared dashboard
- A prioritised roadmap of key initiatives
- A communication plan to align teams and activate the strategy
To build momentum quickly, we also agreed an initial 6-week sprint to generate early wins and clear ownership.
“ Rob's Strategy Map process brought our leadership team together in a way we hadn't managed before. We got clear on where the business is today and what it will take to move forward with confidence. The half-day workshops were fast-paced and incredibly productive. The best part? Everyone was engaged. Everyone contributed. And now we've got genuine energy, ownership, and alignment to actually execute this strategy, not just talk about it.
