Line of sight provides a framework to show how what we do contributes to our company's success. It shows how what we all do every day connects directly to National Grid's vision and strategy.

Our strategy and strategic actions provide the basis for the annual priorities for each line of business and global function.

These annual priorities form the basis of the objectives for the Executive Directors and flow down the organisation into the individual objectives for every manager and employee. Consequently the actions required to deliver the strategy are allocated and aligned with employee responsibilities.

Our aim is that every employee is able to trace their objectives through to the strategic actions, strategy and vision. Line of sight is the foundation for business planning and is fundamental to delivering our business plan and performance management. It's at the heart of everything that we do.
