An OGSM works by bringing together four core components:
1. Objective: Formulate a clear, inspiring goal, preferably for the long term (2 to 5 years).
2. Goals: Define measurable and SMART goals to achieve the Objective.
3. Strategies: Develop strategies to achieve your Objective & Goals.
4. Measures: Use dashboards with targets and KPIs to measure progress and success, and use actions as tactical steps in execution.
With a well-designed OGSM, you can consistently implement and adjust goals and strategies based on measurable results.
