Goal Alignment & Cascading – Multi-Department Manufacturer
The Challenge:
A concrete manufacturing company with 6 plants and 280 employees had disconnected goal-setting with individual goals not clearly linked to departmental or organizational objectives. Strategic initiatives lacked measurable KPIs at working level, and only 40% of employees understood how their work connected to company strategy affecting engagement. Goal visibility was limited to employee and direct manager.
The Solution:
Developed HR goals module with Power Apps visualization showing goal cascading from CEO through organization with alignment mapping. Power Automate triggered goal review workflows quarterly with progress updates. Azure AI recommended OKR (Objectives and Key Results) formulations and identified misaligned goals. Fabric tracked goal completion trends and correlations with business outcomes. Power BI dashboards provided organizational goal visibility, completion rates by department, and strategic initiative tracking.
Result:
Goal alignment improved with 88% of employee goals directly linked to departmental objectives versus 45% previously, employee understanding of strategy connection increased from 40% to 79% improving engagement scores, and strategic initiative execution visibility enabled proactive course corrections. Quarterly goal reviews replaced annual static goals improving agility, and organizational performance improved with 23% higher OKR completion rates.
