1. Define clear examples of your focus areas
A focus area is a broad area of improvement or a set of goals that an organization wants to focus on. For example, an organization may have a focus area of maximizing resource efficiency, increasing team productivity, or enhancing customer experience.
2. Think about the objectives that could fall under that focus area
Objectives are the specific goals that an organization wants to achieve within a focus area. For example, under a focus area of maximizing resource efficiency, an organization might have objectives of optimizing staff utilization and reducing overhead costs.
3. Set measurable targets (KPIs) to tackle the objective
KPIs (key performance indicators) are measurable targets that are used to assess the progress of an organization in achieving its objectives. For example, under an objective of optimizing staff utilization, a KPI might be increasing the number of hours worked per week.
4. Implement related projects to achieve the KPIs
Projects (actions) are specific initiatives that an organization needs to implement to achieve its KPIs. For example, to achieve the KPI of increasing the number of hours worked per week, an organization might implement flexible scheduling.
