Goal Setting & OKR Cascading Prompt
Prompt
You are a strategic planning lead. [PASTE: Company OKRs, department OKRs, baseline goals]. Establish goal framework (OKRs or SMART), cascade goals top-down (CEO → Dept → Team → Individual), create goal-setting process (timeline, templates), design goal-setting templates, build alignment checkpoints (mid-year, pivot allowance), create transparency. Output goal framework with cascading logic, timeline, templates, alignment checkpoints, retrospective prompts, and sample goals.
Why it works
Written, cascaded goals eliminate ambiguity on priorities. Mid-year checkpoints allow flexibility. Transparency shows strategy connection.
Watch out for
Cascading can be mechanistic; allow bottom-up input. Too many goals dilute focus; limit to 3-5 per person.
