1. Define clear examples of your focus areas
In order to initially devise and delegate goals and tasks for yourself and other individuals, it's vital to identify a few key areas you must 'focus' on. This can be done by brainstorming or having an open discussion with your team to identify where the organization wants to go and what needs to be implemented and changed to reach there.

3. Set yourself measurable targets (KPIs) to tackle the objective
KPIs are key performance indicators that are generally related to the objective you set. KPIs are useful in evaluating the success of your organization regarding the particular activity in which it engages with. Additionally, within this nutrition strategy template, it can be beneficial for understanding the importance of certain goals and why achieving them can better an organization's internal capabilities.
For instance, two potential KPIs for the Objective of 'Work on effectively reducing the number of deficiencies' can be: Increase training per department from 3 to 10 and Decrease the time between detecting deficiencies and the fixation process by 2 days.
4. Implement related projects to achieve the KPIs
It’s impossible to achieve your goals if you don’t have implementable actions set in place. Projects are ways of directly achieving KPIs as well as hitting those strategic objectives.
An example of a project you can initiate to decrease the time between detecting deficiencies and the fixation process by 2 days (KPI) is Research and surveillance to determine actual micronutrient deficiency levels.
5. Utilize Cascade tools to track and visualize performance
Besides holding yourself accountable through actionable indicators, Cascade provides your organization with visual tools such as the Dashboard that has widgets that can be used to display your KPIs and goals.
You can add widgets in the form of tables and charts (just to name a few) and appropriately track your KPI and progress on each widget created, as well as your projects.
This nutritional strategy template has two dashboards to track the progress made on set KPIs and projects. It is important to note that not all KPIs have to be tracked and as such a dashboard can be selective or owner specific based on what KPIs are being tracked or who is assigned to certain targets.
