Annual planning

The plan that leaves the meeting and reaches every team's work.

Every key person is heard before the meeting. Disagreements reach the table with each side's name and position. And what you decide becomes owners, deliverables, indicators and each team's time — tracked on the Dashboard all year long.

Orion

The synthesis of the 2027 planning is ready: 14 cards, 2 still vague, and 3 points for the meeting.

Where they diverge

  • Bruno, Sales: hire two salespeople in January.
  • Carla, Finance: hire only after the first quarter.

Divergence It goes to the agenda of the decision meeting.

Why change the way you plan

Where plans get lost — and what changes.

  • The problem

    The meeting hears whoever speaks loudest.

    With Orion

    Each key person answers beforehand, in writing, at their own pace, until the deadline. Orion comments on each answer: what is clear and what is missing — why it matters, how to know it worked, by when and who takes care of it.

  • The problem

    Disagreements show up late — or never.

    With Orion

    The synthesis shows where you agree, where you diverge, with each side's person and position, and the agenda of the decision meeting. What nobody said shows up as “Missing: nobody said”.

  • The problem

    The plan becomes a document, not work.

    With Orion

    What was decided becomes parts with an owner, indicators, deliverables in each team and each team's time, period by period. Each owner approves their part, and the plan is saved to Y Managers.

  • The problem

    Nobody looks at it again until December.

    With Orion

    The Dashboard shows the execution, the time and the indicators of each part. Every period, the plan review opens on its own, at the company's pace, and Orion lets the coordinator and the key people know.

How it works

Seven steps, led by Orion, on a single page.

  1. Prepare

    The Admin chooses the method (CLEAR, OKR, BSC, Problem tree or Situational Strategic Planning), the key people, the questions, the interview deadline and the month the plan starts.

  2. Year in review

    What the previous year delivered, by objective and by team: on time, late or still open, and what depended on a single person.

  3. Interviews

    Each key person answers on the page, in their own language, with Orion's comment. The invitation and the reminders arrive in the bell, by email and on WhatsApp.

  4. Synthesis and decision

    The cards, where they agree, where they diverge and the agenda. The meeting decides what was left open — on a Miro board, if you like.

  5. Breakdown

    The part owners, the deliverables, the indicators and each team's time, period by period.

  6. Approval and plan

    Each owner approves their part, the plenary validates the whole, and the plan is saved to Y Managers.

  7. Plan reviews

    Every 2, 3, 4 or 6 months, at the company's pace: the period's results, what changes in each part and the priorities for the next period.

Who does what

Orion leads the way. You make the decisions.

Orion doesn't rewrite or make things up.

The comment points out what is clear and what is missing. The answer still belongs to whoever wrote it.

Every card cites who said it.

Before the synthesis is saved, every card is checked against the real answers, and every answer becomes a card or shows up with the reason.

Each owner approves their part.

Nothing goes to Y Managers before the approval, and the plenary validates the whole plan.

With what you already use

The planning reaches people where they already are.

Miro

Optional

The meeting workshop on a Miro board, in the leader's own account: the cards, the agenda, where people agree and where they diverge. Afterwards, what changed on the board comes back to the synthesis, once the leader confirms it.

WhatsApp

The invitation, the reminders and each step's notices arrive in each person's conversation with Orion. At the end of each period, Orion asks the owner for the indicator numbers, and a reply is all it takes.

Email and the bell

The same notices also arrive in Orion's bell and by email, with the link that opens the planning page. Nobody who doesn't use Orion on WhatsApp is left out.

Your next plan can start differently.

On the Y Managers plan, with 14 days free for the whole organization, no card required. Start in January or in the current month.
