Purpose

This tool facilitates alignment between top-level business objectives and the skill development required in critical roles across the organization. It visually connects overarching goals to department-level actions and L&D strategies, enabling better-informed workforce development plans and capability-building efforts.

How to use this tool

Start by identifying high-level business objectives in the leftmost column. Then, complete each subsequent column from left to right to “flow down” the objective through:

• Corporate priorities,
• Business unit or function mandates,
• Departmental strategies,
• Team-level actions, and finally
• L&D/HR approaches to support capability development.
