5 Tips on Running Your Quarterly Cycle
👍 Tip 1: Your plan needs to be complete(15:00-17:00)
Establish your whats (Objectives) and hows (Key Results), so you are clear on your goals, accountability owners, and the outcomes you want to achieve.
👍 Tip 2: Choose a management method that works for you (17:05-18:15)
Whether through a document, spreadsheets, or app, decide on a tool to document the process that works for your organization and is comfortable for your people.
👍 Tip 3: Adoption requires communication and socialization (18:15-20:17)
Adoption is created with a process that is well-communicated, documented, and clearly understood. Your process should help your team align, prioritize, and make decisions. Just remember to stick with it!
👍 Tip 4: Answer these four questions when creating your process.(20:17-22:30)
When designing your process, ask: Are the objectives shared or owned by one individual? How many objectives can one person own? Are goals and initiatives committed or aspirational? Are key results quantitative or deliverable-based?
For more, check out the process architecting worksheet on slide 6 and the book, Measure What Matters, by John Doerr.
👍 Tip 5: Hold problem-solving meetings – not status meetings.(22:30-27:20<)
Use your time to address a few underperforming areas. Reflect on what is going well, address the chokepoints, and propose adaptive key results for the upcoming quarter.
