To start the development session for the Tier 1 strategy map, Tolko theme teams presented their strategic theme maps to the Leadership Team. Some objectives from the theme team maps were put in a parking lot and later used in the Tier 2 product sector level strategy maps. Following the affinity grouping process, some 40 strategic theme objectives were grouped into 14 corporate strategic objectives.
