Researching your organisation's strategy will help you understand your contribution and your part in helping your business succeed. It will also help you articulate this to others, as a shared sense of purpose is vital to creating a high-performing team.

You may also discover opportunities to plan more effectively, with more vision and clarity.

• What do you do in your department that helps your organisation achieve its goals?

• What are the critical success criteria? What are the metrics and KPIs? Consider financial metrics, customer metrics, employee metrics and anything else relevant.

• Tactical plans: Consider rotas, cleaning schedules, service plans, arrivals lists, or handovers.
