“The work with Goal Atlas in developing and deploying the digital strategy map has resulted in a significant number of benefits to the team."

Decision making has become far more clear and structured. Teams are now focussed on delivery and have developed a ‘strategy lifecycle’ mindset where we are refining and fine tuning as we go. Team members now clearly have an understanding of how their tasks relate to strategic goals, creating greater engagement with, and adoption of, the strategy. It has made the personal development review process more frequent (and agile), much easier and more valuable. I have been able to communicate objectives to wider teams thus providing greater transparency with peers.

Plus Goal Atlas’s experience and expertise were extensive and invaluable, they were very organised and easy to work with!”

– Kenon Mann, Head of Digital Marketing and Creative Services, Swansea University
