- Introduction & Check-in round
- 👀 Looking around, Company perspective
1-Year Goals & Metrics Outlook 
New Projects for the upcoming episode
- Optional project descriptions
In the Outlook, we look at the One Year Goals & Metrics again to get a feeling of how we are progressing, and to possibly modify them.
In the evaluation, the One Year Goals, Projects & Metrics have been reviewed as well, and maybe we learned that something needs to be changed.
@ Circle Lead, can you update us about what is discussed during the evaluation?
@ SubCircle Leads, can you bring forward anything from the sub-circle perspective?
One Year Goals
One year goals
Why
Let’s start with the Why. Why do we want these goals? What is the story behind them? What problem are we trying to solve? Write this down. And connect this to our existing long term strategy.
Smart
Make the goals smart: Specific, Measurable, Attainable but ambitious, Relevant, and Time-bound (one year).
Accountable
There should be one role in the lead and accountable for a goal. You inherit the company goals, either to lead or to support. If goals really don’t fit your circle, make your own goal (singular).
Which roles do we need
Which roles or circle might be needed to achieve this goal.
Possible challenges
What might make the goal difficult to reach. Write them down, so we don’t lose sight of there while breaking goals down into projects.
Where do you want to be at the end of the year?
- You inherit the 1-Year organization goals.
- You can add one circle specific year goal, if needed
- attach a role (primary accountability)
- attach a story / why
- Think of challenges
- Check if the role is smart
- Make sure your circle-specific Year Goal contributes to the company: link it to company goals and or goals of the higher circle. Add this relation to the line-of-sight table below.
Why (problem we want to solve) | One Year Goals (Inherited) | Connection to Strategy | Primary role or circle that is accountable | Support required from (GCC perspective) | Known Challenges |
The following is true about 1 Year Goal:
- In the first Outlook of the year, you start with a blank sheet, the subsequent outlook you just see if changes are required
- One Year Goals can be found by dreaming where you want to be / stand at the end of the year.
- One Year Goals should be defined SMART.
From the evaluation:
Are the One year goals SMART?
Do we need to update our one-year goals?
Metrics
Metrics should help us to reach our higher goals, fulfil our purpose, and maximise our critical number (end users)
In the Outlook we look at the metrics again to get a feeling of how we are progressing. In the evaluation, you have looked at the metrics as well and maybe learned that something needs to be changed.
In case you want to translate Output metrics to input metrics, you can ask help from the Data Circle.
Where do we want to be at the end of the year in terms of numbers?
The Circle Lead reflects
For sub circle’s and representatives: What can you share from your circle?
What are the organisation metrics that we are responsible for?
Ref: GCC Metrics
