MicrosoftSounds like a great session! I know there are some companies starting their fiscal year in July, and thus doing annual planning right now. It might be helpful if you could talk about how your organizations thought about setting annual goals, and then how those annual goals broke out into quarterly goals and how you aligned them. Thanks!
thank you for this great question jimhopkinson.
This is actually a tough challenge. The first part is to specify your annual goals which is more as describing your "vison" but also should clarify how these goals can help you to achieve the vision.
By describing annual goals you're putting an enormous pressure on all team members, no matter of the job level. When you split things up to smaller chunks and short-term goals this helps to motivate the people working on these milestones but also helps to get more details on the way to the annual goal.
