OGSM

Clarity is a beautiful thing. That’s why we’re advocates of OGSM, a powerful strategic planning framework that drives alignment, focus, and clarity so all levels – from C-suite to customer service – know where they’re headed and how to get there.

 

 

Let OGSM lead the way.

A brief lesson on OGSM

The OGSM framework uses a concise one-page format for long-term (3-5 years) strategy development and execution.

OGSM stands for objectives, goals, strategies, and measures. It is designed to connect big picture strategic elements (mission, vision, values) to tactical operational elements necessary to achieve strategic success. In other words, it ensures work being done moves an organization towards its ultimate goals.

The precise origin of the framework is unknown, but Procter & Gamble is widely credited with the development of the modern version of the OGSM framework, which they utilized to align their global organization. Since being implemented by P&G, OGSM has been used by Fortune 500 companies around the globe.

ArchPoint is the world leader in OGSM methodology and delivery.

Companies don’t keep score.
