Plan radar
Quarterly reporting and the requirements from the reporting obligation, certifications, laws, and performance-related remuneration enforce ever shorter time horizons short-term = month, mid-term = quarter, long-term = year. Long-term considerations are not thought out and remain unused because they do not provide short-term impact.
Plan radar organizes the activities along two dimensions. You can fill out this model for yourself or develop it in a workshop together with your organization. Organize thereby your activities into the dimensions deliverables, customer, organization, and technology. At the same time, avoid concrete dates and organize the activities into the scopes project, plan, and perspective.
Dimensions
Arrange activities into four topical areas.
- Deliverables
In this segment, projects are bundled with products and services, such as the innovations, required replacements, and similar initiatives.
- Customer
The activities that are all about the customers, markets, and sales are collected in this area, like developing new markets, innovative sales channels, an original brand image, customer satisfaction, and a customer database.
- Organization
All initiatives that take care of the processes, strategy, and leadership, i.e. the internal organization, are collected in this part, like the improved processes, a new direction of the company, and training.
- Technology
Projects that concentrate on the technical and methodical tasks, like the development, implementation, maintenance, and dismantling of plant equipment, IT systems, tools, production methods are described in this area.
Scope
For the description of the temporal scope, activities are positioned in the green area (i.e., project), the yellow region (i.e., plan), or the blue region (i.e. (perspective) of the respective dimension.
- Project
In the middle, the green area, are the currently running activities, the so-called projects.
- Plan
You can find the activities that you already plan in the yellow area - the tangible ideas, feasible concepts, and concrete projects.
- Perspective
The outer area is the pool of opportunities that are not yet planned but provides imaginable and feasible solutions that are already available or will be available in the future.
