Which concept translates strategic goals into HR actions across departments?

• A. STRATEGY MAP
• B. HR SCORECARD
• C. EMPLOYEE COSTS LEVER
• D. LEADERSHIP AND NAVIGATION

Answer: (A)

Strategy map translates strategic goals into a cascade of objectives and actions across the organization, including HR. It shows how the aims at the top drive specific initiatives in different departments and links the sequence from learning and growth to internal processes, to customer value, and finally to financial results. This makes HR actions tangible across departments—recruiting, training, performance management, and people practices—so they directly support each strategic objective. The HR scorecard focuses more on measuring HR’s own performance rather than laying out cross-department actions, so it doesn’t fulfill the same role.
