People Architects' Strategy Playbook

A Strategy Playbook can be created for each map. The map means little if it is not translated quickly into ACTION.  The Strategy Playbook makes this easy and intuitive.

Initially, the Playbook makes it easy to edit the map online. Each page and section of the map has a comment form.

Initially, two ratings are entered for each “step” of the map for how important the action is and how satisfied reviewers are with current performance. These ratings determine opportunity scores. A prioritized action plan or a set of recommendations or guidelines is calculated to focus on the biggest opportunities.

Additional "rounds" of commenting and voting can help a larger group of experts refine the information for each step in the map.

Voting can be combined with each round of commenting to quantitatively assess the level of consensus among the experts for each part of the map. This uses a Delphi Method, a commonly used research methodology created by the Rand Foundation in 1978 for helping a group of experts come to consensus. It is often helpful to see where a larger group of experts agree and disagree on each part of the map.

After consensus is reached, the Strategy Playbook allows the map to be used in helping other improve their job performance. Applications include:

- New Hire Training

- Browser-based Apps and Tools

- Coaching

- Checklists

- Evidence-based Research

- Written Materials such as Articles, Publications and Guides

- Real-time Data Gathering
