Time, money and efforts - the fundamental resources of any organization. Used well - goals and objectives are satisfied, used poorly goals and objectives are not satisfied. So you see there is a direct connection between results and these resources.
First you need to know and understand how these "seemingly" free resources are currently being consumed.
For starters . . .
Do an inventory of everything being worked on in the organization, on your team, or your area of accountability - pick the highest level you influence and/or manage. "What?" you say - how do you know what that is?
Good question! Are you working with a purpose in mind? Or do you just go to work on what shows up via an outside source (complaint, emergency, something fall through the cracks, etc.) e.g. are you just reacting/responding to the circumstances and conditions of the day (or hour)? I call that working from the outside or "reaction centric" - versus working from the inside or "purpose centric".
Setup the inventory - here are the columns: what (are you at work on), why (are you doing that), and how (will you know you are on target).
Then review your inventory - how much of the "why" is connected to a business strategy? How many of the items have specific and measurable targets?
More to come on this and "Job descriptions are DEAD".
