Plan Your Work

Great leaders make it easy to follow along, and to make your own unique contribution to the performance of the group. And teams can only perform at their peak when they have clear goals and priorities. That's what our Plan Your Work functionality provides.

 

"Most managers are notoriously subjective, prone to managing by anecdote, quick to adopt best practices, and fond of big, visible initiatives. But the evidence from McKinsey's database suggests that a company's performance and underlying health are much more likely to be improved by a combination of complementary practices - especially those that provide for clear accountability, help set goals and priorities, and encourage a high-performing corporate culture. Top managers would be wise to base their actions on this evidence of proven success and not on prevailing wisdom and myths, however seductive."

beacon enables you and your team leaders to quickly create, communicate and update a prioritized, nested list of plans and actions that incorporates:

• Objectives
• Desired Outcomes
• Why?
• Associated Targets
• Due Dates
• Accountability
• Relationships to other priorities, actions and targets

Which then allows Team Members to create focused, supporting plans and actions of their own, while communicating to others what needs to be done to accomplish the goals and objectives already established.

All Plans are:

• Centralized
• Transparent
• Real-time
• Adaptive

While beacon takes care of automatically notifying you of:

• Changes or activity where you are a stakeholder, including deadline, completion, budget, resourcing, etc.
