PERFORMANCE & GOALS

Turn Strategy Into Aligned Human Performance.

Connect enterprise priorities to functions, teams and individuals, then make progress, dependencies, evidence and contribution visible.

Are people, teams and organizational priorities moving in the same direction?

The Strategy-to-Performance Map

Start with a fictional enterprise objective. It cascades into strategic outcomes, business-unit goals, team goals and individual commitments. Change one objective — watch downstream dependencies update.

Change the enterprise objective:

Objective: Improve enterprise retention +12%

Strategic outcomes

Reduce regretted attritionRaise internal fill rate

Business-unit goals

Product BU: Platform stability + delivery predictabilityPeople BU: Career mobility coverage

Team goals

Platform Team: Cut critical incidents 30%Mobility Team: Publish readiness for 12 future roles

Individual commitments

Engineering Manager (fictional): Incident review cadenceHRBP (fictional): 12 mobility profiles with evidence

Synthetic cascade — fictional objectives, teams and owners.

Outcomes are separated from activities — shipping work is not the same as moving the measure.

The Goal Alignment Graph

A visual network connects enterprise goals to teams, people, initiatives and measures. Click a node — contribution, dependencies, status and evidence appear.

Cascade and Contribution

Cascade goals

Where alignment is genuinely top-down.

Contribution goals

Individuals contribute on their own terms.

Shared goals

Two teams own one outcome together.

Cross-functional outcomes

No single owner — by design.

Never force every individual into a rigid top-down cascade.

Performance Evidence

Agreed goalsMilestonesWork outputsProject evidenceManager observationsOther authorised evidence

Evidence is kept separate from interpretation — always.

Progress Intelligence

On-track

Moving; explanation attached.

At-risk

Drifting — what changed is exposed.

Blocked

A named obstacle, with an owner.

Completed

Outcome reached; evidence linked.

Progress indicators expose what changed — not just a percentage.

Dependency Intelligence

Surface when one team's delayed milestone may affect another team's outcome.

Slipped: Data Platform Team — migration milestone slips 3 weeks

Affects: Analytics Team — model refresh blocked

Owner: Platform delivery managerCoordination: re-sequence refresh or pair for 2 weeks

Raised as review signals — humans decide what to change.

“Delivery held through the migration; we should discuss scope support and the Q3 stretch goal.”

Manager and employee can both edit the narrative.

Continuous, Not Annual

Check-ins, milestone reviews and goal changes happen throughout the cycle — instead of concentrating all meaningful information in one annual event.

The Goal Scenario Simulator

Change a strategic priority, deadline or resource assumption — see which downstream goals require review.

Strategic priority

Deadline

Resource assumption

Goals requiring review:

  • Review: mobility programme goal — aligned with current priority
  • Review: release-health timeline — pulled forward one month
  • Review: resource plan — stable, no changes required

Assumption changes update the review list deterministically — fictional goals, illustrative.
