How to Set Up Objectives, Key Results, and Contributions in the CGS System

Instructions on How to Set Up Objectives, Key Results, and Contributions in the CGS System

1. Setting Up Objectives:

   • Navigate to the Objectives section.
   • Create clear objectives that define what you want to achieve. For example, objectives could include "Grow the Team" or "Increase Profit."
   • These objectives will serve as the high-level goals of your strategy.

2. Defining Key Results:

   • Under each objective, define measurable Key Results that indicate progress toward the objective.
   • Example key results for "Increase Profit" might include:
     • Reducing operational costs (e.g., from $200,000 to $175,000).
     • Increasing turnover (e.g., from $400,000 to $500,000).
   • Key results can be expressed as numbers, percentages, or other measurable data points.

3. Adding Contributions:

   • Contributions link rooms and tasks to specific key results, representing the work done to achieve those key results.
   • Go to the Key Result you want to track and click on Create Contribution.
   • Assign relevant rooms and tasks to that key result. For example, a room titled "Implement First Profit Multiplier" might contribute 50% towards the goal of increasing turnover.
   • This way, completing tasks in those rooms will move the strategy towards meeting the key results.

4. Track Progress:

   • Once contributions are set up, you can track progress on the Dashboard.
   • The progress bar will show how much of the key result has been achieved based on the completed rooms and tasks. For example, if 50% of a key result is linked to a room that is completed, the bar will show 50% progress.
