GOSPA

GOSPA is a planning process, which can be used for developing, communicating, and agreeing to plans that enables focus towards common goals and that provides a mechanism for monitoring progress toward those goals and adjusting as time goes on.

How it Works

The five letters stand for: Goals, Objectives, Strategies, Priorities, and Activities.

* Goals are general end results that we would like to achieve.
* Objectives are measurable deliverables/achievements within specified timeframes (e.g., increase sales by 10% by the end of the year). They support goals.
* Strategies are how we intend to achieve our objectives (e.g., put added focus on new sales). They also support goals.
* Plans are specific elements of our strategies, with short-term timeframes (e.g., hire a new salesrep by the end of the month). They support strategies.
* Actions are day-to-day tasks (e.g., place an ad in the paper for a salesrep). They support plans.

In his internationally acclaimed book,"The Winning Way in Business"' ISBN # 978-0-9803982-0-5, Ronnie Kagan talks about GOSPA. He shares that the difference between working with a goal and without a goal is results.
He also shares that the GOSPA model is used by large and small companies alike to maximise productivity and reduce time required to complete tasks.
