A Game Plan outlines to the whole organization what needs to be done to execute against the strategy at a function or team level

Game Plans...

  • Drive strategy execution alignment

Start of the year - Game Plans are created for the year 

  • The leadership team Game Plan is created in TG.
  • Each Function and team creates their own Game Plan in TG once the leadership Game Plan is completed.
During each period
  • Each team uses their game plans as their strategic 'action plan' and in particular updates their OKRs alongside the Methods, Commitments and Interlocks to ensure that their Game Plan remains fit for purpose.
  • The Game Plan needs to remain aligned with the OKRs.
End of each period
  • Review and update the appropriate components in the Game Plan during the retrospective, to ensure the OKRs for the upcoming period will be achieved.
