To succeed in strategy execution and driving transformations organizations need to ensure individuals in different functions and teams know and understand why and how to execute against the organization's strategy. After securing this understanding and moving onto defining the objectives, key results and tasks, we also need a way to manage and clarify cross-team obstacles and dependencies.  

To answer to this need, we have created a new feature: Game Plans.

Game Plans are execution plans of the company strategy.

They have core elements to provide a structure and focus for teams; to build a team identity, interpret the organization strategy in a meaningful way and achieve their goals.

‍

What can you do with Game Plans?

➡️ Provide the context for teams and departments to share how they will contribute to the organization strategy
➡️ Improve transparency by showing everyone the methods used to move towards the shared goals
➡️ Manage obstacles and dependencies across teams and departments
➡️ Provide answers to strategic questions

You can formulate Game Plans as part of your function or team's OKR discussion. They are living documents dedicated for each area of your business and reflect their current focus. In Game Plans you bring together your vision, business targets, culture and change targets into one holistic view.

‍

‍

Key components of Game Plans

The Game Plan feature consist of main components. By answering to all of them you can create a holistic view on what your team is doing, how and why.

1. Vision & Purpose – provide a clear and shared understanding of your team vision and purpose
   
2. Values, Drivers & Principles – guide your team's decisions and behaviors
   
3. Obstacles & Dependencies – manage obstacles and dependencies that require collaboration and coordination with other teams or individuals
   
4. OKRs – set specific and measurable outcomes that keep you focused and aligned
   
5. Methods & Commitments – make specific commitments that drive action and accountability and identify and define Methods where to get help
   
6. Specify what you will not focus on – help your team stay focused and avoid distractions

‍

‍

Don't yet have Game Plans in your TG?

If you want to jump on the board of Game Plans, please be in contact with TG at success@tangible-growth.com, we will help you get started with few simple steps.
‍

‍

This feature has been one of the most asked for in our user community and something we also really looked forward to having ourselves. 

‍

Now with the integration you can do the following directly in Slack:

1. View your OKRs
2. Update and share the progress of your Key Results
3. Receive TG notifications and mentions in your Slack

‍

These features will help you to:

1. Stay focused on the rights things by having your OKRs at hand –attention and focus are hard to find these days. One way to protect our focus is to make sure we work towards our goals and don't get lost in too many ad-hoc tasks. Thanks to our Slack integration it's even easier to have your goals and priorities (OKRs) at hand at all times.
   
   
2. Discuss and share – achieved that Key Result, facing some hiccups, or needing help? Simply update and share your Key Results directly from Slack; keep the right people informed and have discussions on the platform most comfortable for you.
   
   
3. Receive all notifications in one place – having the possibility to direct also your TG notifications to Slack means you don't need to check multiple places to stay informed and to know when it's time to check your TG app.

Do you have big goals, but no roadmap to get there?
Do you struggle to break down your goal into manageable steps and track your progress?
Do you want to collaborate with others who share your vision and can help you along the way?

‍

‍

‍

Commitments is a powerful new feature that helps you drive your goals by breaking them down into manageable tasks, milestones, and deliverables. By using Commitments, you can collaborate with others and achieve successful outcomes that create a sense of progress and momentum towards your larger goals.

‍

‍

Using Commitments is simple. Just ask for commitments from others, ensure everyone agrees on how to achieve the outcome, do the actual work asynchronously, and share progress updates to drive successful outcomes. By following these simple steps, you can get more done and collaborate better with others to achieve your goals.

We have been hard at work to improve the experience for you and we are proud to present our latest improvements to our UI

‍

We are rolling out the new release during week 42, starting on weekend of 15-16th October 2022.

• You will see the new UI once you login to the app. If you do not see the new UI automatically, and want to speed up the process, you can force the app to check for updates. To do this, navigate to your profile picture in the top left corner of the app and click on the version number.

‍

Why did we update the UI?

Our aim is to provide all TG users with the best design and experience possible. We want to do this by listening to our users and following best practices. For the UI update this means:

1. Clearer and simpler use – we focused cleaning up the navigation to raise the intuitiveness of our product. This means, using TG becomes easier and faster for you.
2. Improved coherence – strongly related to the previous, we aimed at taking the clarity and simplicity to all parts of the product ensuring the ease of use is consistent.
3. Faster release cycle – we have worked on improving our design library and system (the building blocks, elements and logic we use in our product), which means that in the future we can be even more efficient in releasing new features. This is a very important process improvement for our 'under the hood' machine.

‍

‍

‍

Key things that have improved:

• Your content is at focus. We have faded away our own UI to make your content shine.
• You can now comment on Objectives and Key Results. And tag people to notify them of your thoughts. You can also use our new rich text editor to highlight your message.
• Key Result editing has changed, you can now edit all KR values from the same Key Result view. No need to pop-out an update dialog and all the comments and context available to you. And then comment your update in Rich Text.
• You can search for OKRs in addition to people and teams. This is awesome, you can find across your organisation if somebody is already working on something similar.
• You can create filters in the Objectives view. And the Objectives view has been cleaned up also to contain either list or card view of the teams. 
• The Objective Align and Chart views have been improved. Check them out, now you can see each team and Objective status more clearly under Objectives. Really useful for seeing where in the organisation somebody might need help.

‍

‍

‍

That's it, enjoy the new UI! We are happy to any thoughts or ideas you might have at product-feedback@tangible-growth.com

We will continue to improve the UI, bring new functionalities, and work on further simplifying the solution to make it even easier to use.

‍

This is a big one. We've got updates for Teams, Objectives and Insights. Let's go!

‍

‍

‍

⭐ You can now follow teams

If you have a lot of teams you need to keep a track of or are just interested in following other teams, you can now follow them! Followed teams are visible in the main navigation menu.

🎯 Create long term team & personal OKRs

Previously you could only have company objectives that were planned for the long term (example a year) and team objectives were for the short term (example quarterly). Now you can also create team and personal objectives that are planned for the longer term period. Long term objectives however can only be linked to other long term objectives.

💡 Better visualisations in pulse Insights

We have improved comparing Insight pulse results to the previous survey. You can now see the delta and the breakdown of the answers.

‍

Trying to find a certain team in your organisation or just exploring how other teams are doing has been a bit tricky, we know, we’ve experienced the same. That’s why we are excited to annouce a new feature Views! You can now view your whole organisation and see how your teams, and virtual teams, are doing from the same place.

Just click on the Views from the navigation menu and you'll be able to view your organisation chart. You can also list your teams in alphabetical order or use the search to find a specific team if you are in a a larger organisation.

‍

Is there something we forgot to add? 🤔 Something that would make looking for teams even easier? 💪 We'd love to hear what you think!

Ever had a need to gather Individual Insights from only your team and not your whole organisation or transformation program? It's now possible to ask Individual Insights from just your team! 🔥

In short, a new tab is visible on the Team pages that brings the Insights feature to single teams - the questions asked here will not cascade to the teams below. All the same functionality as for Insights in Transformation Programs is available.

‍

How it works

• Only the team members and the team lead can answer to insight surveys for a team
• The team lead, the lead of any team above that team or Change Managers can create Insights Surveys for teams
• The team lead, the lead of any team above the team, Change Managers and members of said team can view the results of a survey
