Strategic Roadmapping

Roadmapping is a dynamic strategic planning technique that drives clarity, alignment, and innovation. Widely used across industry, government, and academia, it helps organizations develop and communicate strategy effectively. By providing a structured yet flexible approach, roadmapping enables teams to navigate complexity, prioritize actions, and stay focused on shared goals.

Strategic Visioning

A strategic vision helps organizations navigate change and drive long-term success by uniting stakeholders, aligning goals, and guiding actions. It integrates strategic planning, visioning tools, and change management to create a clear, shared direction for future growth.

Organizational Culture Roadmap Assessment

As organizations grow, they often lose the agility and creativity that once drove their success. A culture that resists change can limit long-term growth. This self assessment helps identify opportunities to strengthen innovation, foster adaptability, and build a future-ready organization.

Project Selection

Strategy and innovation require potential options ('projects’) that an organization might pursue to be identified, assessed, prioritized and implemented. By combining data-driven insights with expert judgment, this solution enables organizations to prioritize the right projects, optimize resource allocation, and drive long-term innovation success.

IfM Engage’s approach to roadmapping is unique in two significant areas. Firstly, we blend consultancy, training and mentoring depending on project requirements to build our client’s capability and expertise. Secondly, our approach is built on a foundation of University of Cambridge research, so as new findings emerge, we integrate them into our toolkit to ensure our approach remains world-leading.
