1. Pyramid of Purpose Template
The Pyramid of Purpose is a strategic tool that can be used to plan and effectively communicate a business strategy across all levels of an organization. Each level of the pyramid represents a different question about the strategy that an employee could ask: why the organization does things in a certain way, what needs to be done to implement the strategy, how should those tasks be completed, who is responsible for ensuring the tasks get done correctly? Like a pyramid, which starts at the base and works its way up, the answer to one question leads to the next:
Why? - The answer to this question lies in the mission statement of the organization. The strategies that are created should all be created in service of fulfilling the mission of the company.
What? - This stage concretely defines what steps need to be done in order to carry out the mission of the organization. In other words, the organization should list out the goals that will further its progress towards making its mission into a reality.
How? - This stage lists the exact steps that need to be taken in order to achieve the goals identified in the “what?” stage. This process involves determining what specific actions will be taken and when, as well as the resources that are needed.
Who? - Finally, in order to answer this question, the organization must identify who will be responsible for completing each task.
