Goals, Objectives, and Measures - Act on Results

Review the Summary tab

• Use the 2x2 grid to quickly review the most important/most popular Ideas from across the organization. Click on the top right quadrant of the grid. Ideas will be listed in order of Importance.
  • Ideas in the top right quadrant reflect greatest areas of alignment in the responses and require the highest degree of attention.
  • Ideas in the bottom right quadrant are popular, meaning they were important to a number of people, but they were not consistently ranked as the most important.
  • Ideas in the top left quadrant were important to a smaller group of participants. As such, they may be niche ideas or ideas newly emerging among the team. 
  • Ideas in the bottom left quadrant are those that did not particularly resonate with the audience. They were not ranked as important by a large percentage of the participants.
• Each prompt generates it's own 2x2 grid. Use the drop down menu on the right to click through the responses for Goals, Objectives, and Measures in turn.

Act on responses

• Address the concepts in the most important/most popular quadrant of the grid. Those ideas may:
  • Confirm alignment with the plan
  • Suggest changes to provide clarification, increase understanding, or align the strategic plan with culture
  • Request changes to the plan components or targets, which may be considered by the executive team if the reasons provided seem compelling
• Consider addressing responses in the top left and bottom right quadrant of the grid. While not at the top of the list, they warrant some consideration. 
• Remember, ideas that were not ‘voted up’ do not represent the majority view of your audience. While you can review that feedback for interesting points, we do not suggest excessive action on those comments. 
• If warranted, change plan components. If the plan components cannot be changed in accordance with the responses, then use the content of the responses to inform and enhance your communication plan to gain support for the strategic plan.

Communicate Results

• Follow up with communication to all invitees to provide feedback on the results, to address topics raised in the collaboration, and to thank participants.
