What we see across 1,200 organisations

Aggregate patterns from anonymised, consented data, published with the methodology attached so you can argue with it.

Only 34% of objectives carry a measure

Across the organisations we see, two thirds of strategic objectives have no target value at all. Those are the ones that get quietly dropped in Q3.

Portfolios that re-baseline more than twice a year report near-zero variance. Not because they are on time, but because the reference keeps moving.

Nearly a third of manager drafts change in the calibration session. The direction is almost always down, and almost always at the top band.

A single engagement score predicted regretted attrition poorly. Workload and meeting load together with sentiment did substantially better.

Most performance contracts we import cite a target with no system behind it, which is why year-end scoring becomes a negotiation.

A strategy deck, an OKR tool, a project tool, a BI dashboard and two spreadsheets. The spreadsheets are always the hardest to remove.

Everything here describes something the product does. The tour shows it running.
