What is OGSM?
OGSM stands for Objectives, Goals, Strategies, and Measures. It is a practical methodology and proven tool that helps organisations of various sizes and structures develop their feasible strategies, break them down into viable deliverables and deliver tangible business results.
What are the Benefits?
OGSM helps to formulate and communicate your strategy reaching clear alignment and integration of processes across regions, business units, or functions. It also facilitates you to translate strategy into a specific action plan. When this is widely understood across an organization and communicated properly internally, it becomes a very effective tool that helps to point everyone in the same direction. Because teams know their contribution, it starts to be beneficial on an individual level to follow the strategy and think strategically, which in turn, boosts employee engagement.
