Gate 06 · Strategic Planning Architecture™

COMMIT — Individual goals and objectives

What is each person accountable for, and can they see it on one sheet?

Step 01: The Gate

Binary pass criteria. Every one, or the gate is closed.

Pass criteria

  • Every individual objective traces to a function goal and, through it, to an element.
  • Each person has a single sheet: my objectives, my leading measures, my cadence.
  • Capability required by the objective is either present or on a development plan.

Evidence required

  • The individual objective sheet, dated and acknowledged.
  • Capability inputs: Leadership Capability, DISC, PQ® where relevant.

Owner: Each leader with their direct reports

Step 02: The Failure Mode

How this gate is quietly skipped.

The tell

People can recite the strategy but cannot say what changes in their week.

The counter

The objective is written as priority actions that land on the daily 80/20 sheet.

Step 03: The Action

Existing Compass instruments that do this work.
