Welcome to the sixth lesson
Today we delve into the powerful topic of framing and setting priorities—how to ensure that all of the work that you do is aligned to truly delivery results for the business in a way that is clear and measurable.
! NOTE TAKING IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED !
I highly recommend that you take notes while watching these videos and then revisit those notes in the future. Research has shown that note-taking + follow-up review can increase your retention by 50% or more.
Lesson 6:
Framing Priorities for Impact
Time to complete: 1 week
Assignment Step 1
Look at your current work priorities and ensure that they are all aligned to your organization’s direction
Ensure that you truly understand your organization’s strategy and direction
Make sure that all of your priorities have clear line-of-sight to that strategy
Cut out anything that isn’t clearly aligned
Assignment Step 2
Restructure your priorities under the PSD structure
Go through and reframe all of your priorities under the PSD structure (what is the priority, what is the success metric, what is the deadline?)
If you can’t come up with a clear success metric, consider using process milestones instead
Take this new list and validate it with your manager/team/etc. before moving forward
