Introduction

How can you increase your success by setting appropriate objectives and goals, developing a corresponding strategy and measuring the right effects? In this training, we explain several guiding principles in light of the OGSM method. Your annual plan on a single A4 page.

OGSM - Objective, Goals, Strategies, Measures -  is a method that teaches you how to create a truly effective business or marketing plan. A plan that fits on one A4 page, enabling you to move from vision to action. It connects ambitious objectives to concrete activities. This method has been successfully applied worldwide by numerous organisations such as NASA, P&G, Coca-Cola,...

The OGSM method allows you to create a complete and structured business and marketing plan that fits on an A4 page. The layout of the plan and the connections between its elements are immediately clear, making it a powerful tool for tracking progress and staying focused on the goal. It’s also an ideal way to communicate the strategic or marketing plan to all team members.
