What is the number one work-related issue in your work group or company that is nagging at you right now?
If you could improve productivity for everyone in your work group by saving one hour of wasted time per day (x number of employees x 240 workdays/year), what would that be worth to your company? What would that enable your work group to do that you are not doing now?
What is one area -- that if your work group focused on over the next three months -- would make a huge positive difference in the quality of your product or service? Describe some measurable outcomes you desire. Then imagine that your work group has already accomplished these outcomes and describe what this would do for your company. In the space below the example, identify your focus area, measurable outcomes, and motivation for focusing on this.
