Goals & Strategy


In the dynamic realm of small business management, staying organized and strategically aligned with your goals is not just an advantage—it's a necessity. One effective tool that can help streamline this process is InfoLobby, a versatile project management platform. Here’s how small businesses can utilize InfoLobby to manage their goals and strategies efficiently.

1. Setting Up Your InfoLobby Workspace

Before diving into strategy, set up a dedicated workspace in InfoLobby. This area will serve as your central hub for all strategy-related activities. You can customize this workspace by adding tables that pertain to different aspects of your business strategy, such as Goal Tracking, Project Management, KPI Monitoring, and Feedback Loops.

Action Steps:

  • Create a new workspace for Strategy and Goals.
  • Add relevant tables from the InfoLobby App Market tailored to strategy management or create custom tables that suit your specific needs.

2. Defining and Tracking Goals

Clear goal setting is the cornerstone of effective business strategy. InfoLobby allows you to define goals in a structured format, assign them to the right team members, set deadlines, and monitor progress.

Action Steps:

  • Use a Goal Tracking table to input each goal, detailing the objective, timeframe, and responsible parties.
  • Break down each goal into actionable tasks and assign them to team members with due dates.
  • Regularly update each goal's status to reflect progress or roadblocks.

3. Implementing Strategy Through Projects

With goals set, you need to implement strategies through specific projects. InfoLobby’s Project Management app can be configured to manage and track all ongoing projects that are part of your strategic plan.

Action Steps:

  • Create a project in the Project Management table for each strategic initiative.
  • Link these projects back to the specific goals they are designed to achieve.
  • Use milestones within each project to ensure you are meeting the targets on time.

4. Monitoring Key Performance Indicators (KPIs)

To measure the effectiveness of your strategies, set up Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) in InfoLobby. These metrics will help you understand if your strategic efforts are translating into tangible outcomes.

Action Steps:

  • Create a KPI Monitoring table to track performance metrics crucial to your business's success.
  • Input and update KPI data regularly to have real-time insights into business performance.
  • Review these metrics during strategy meetings to make informed decisions.

5. Gathering Feedback and Adjusting Strategies

The business landscape is ever-evolving, and so should your strategies. Utilize InfoLobby to collect feedback from your team and adjust your plans accordingly.

Action Steps:

  • Use a Feedback Loop table where team members can submit their observations and suggestions concerning current strategies.
  • Schedule regular review sessions to discuss this feedback and make necessary strategy adjustments.
  • Ensure all changes are communicated clearly to the involved stakeholders via InfoLobby’s communication tools.

Conclusion

For small businesses, managing goals and strategies can seem daunting, but with tools like InfoLobby, it becomes not only manageable but also an integral part of your business success. By setting up a dedicated workspace, clearly defining and tracking goals, implementing strategies through projects, monitoring performance, and adapting to feedback, you can ensure that your business remains on a path to growth and achievement.
