A new annual plan
Here's how we can help you.
Typical questions organisations play with when it comes time to create an annual plan are:
- How can we be targeted and result-oriented this year to improve our performance compared to last year?
- In what ways can we actively involve all departments and teams in our strategy?
- How do we translate our multi-year strategy into specific goals for each department?
- What reflections from the past can help us make better choices for next year?
- How do we ensure clear communication so that everyone understands how their contribution aligns with our shared goals and strategy?
- What can we do to promote ownership and engagement within teams?
- How can we work together to make next year a successful one?
Five steps to a supported and consolidated annual plan
In 5 steps, you work towards a consolidated annual plan, translated at departmental and/or team level. Depending on the needs within your organisation, we determine together which steps are desirable, and which framework (think OKR, OGSM or tailor-made for your organisation) fits best.
1-day session: reflection (and possible adaptation) on multi-year strategy to set strategic goals, in chosen framework, which can be translated to departments and teams in the next step.
Result
- Concrete picture of relevance of multiannual strategy
- Clear, strategic goals at organisational level
1-day session: training session for department/team managers aimed at creating a shared understanding about the chosen framework.
Result
- Department/team managers are trained in the basics of the framework
- Every manager has an initial outline of departmental goals, aligned with the organisation's strategic goals
Session of 2-4 hours: with managers and teams to work out the goals.
Result
- Each department has a fully developed set of goals
- Goals serve as direction for further implementation to the teams
(Online) 2-hour sessions: teams work on their team goals, tailored to department and organisation.
Result
- Teams have a clear set of goals, aligned with those of the department
- Teams understand how their daily work contributes to wider organisational objectives
Half-day session: a 'marketplace' session where managers present their goals and get feedback from peers, offering insight into overlaps and collaborations.
Result
- Energy around strategy and its translation
- Understanding opportunities for collaboration across departments and teamsÂ
