FAQ
What are the benefits of using goal-tracking software in an organization?
Turnkey’s Goal System, built on the P.A.C.E. framework (Performance, Alignment, Clarity, Execution), helps organizations stay aligned and accountable. It centralizes objectives, streamlines reporting, and provides real-time visibility into performance across teams and departments. With this clarity, leadership can identify roadblocks early, optimize resources, and make data-driven decisions that accelerate results—while creating a culture where everyone knows how their work connects to the bigger picture.
How does effective goal setting improve team performance?
Effective goals give teams Clarity and Alignment, ensuring everyone understands their role in driving strategic outcomes. When goals are measurable and tied to business priorities, managers can coach teams more effectively, track progress with Execution, and celebrate performance milestones that matter. The result? A culture of focus, collaboration, and continuous improvement where individuals feel connected to the company’s success.
How often should organizational goals be reviewed or updated?
We recommend setting company-level goals annually, then breaking them into quarterly priorities that drive team and individual goals. Progress should be reviewed weekly or bi-weekly, using P.A.C.E. Checkpoints (our modern approach to performance reviews) to capture learning moments and address roadblocks in real time. This rhythm of review ensures organizations stay agile, aligned, and focused on high-impact execution.
Why is it important to track progress on goals regularly?
Regular tracking builds Clarity and Accountability—two pillars of P.A.C.E. By rating goals weekly or bi-weekly, teams can flag roadblocks early, celebrate quick wins, and adjust course when needed. These regular touchpoints foster transparency, drive performance conversations, and ensure every effort remains aligned with both short-term priorities and long-term strategy.
What are common challenges in setting and tracking goals?
Many organizations struggle with vague or misaligned goals, lack of team buy-in, or tools that make tracking cumbersome. Without Alignment and Clarity, engagement suffers and performance stalls. Turnkey solves this by focusing on SMART HARD goals—a methodology that blends specific, measurable targets with goals that are Heartfelt, Animated, Required, and Difficult, so people are motivated and inspired to achieve meaningful results.
What features should you look for in a goal-tracking solution?
Look for a solution that doesn’t just track goals but drives performance with focus and simplicity. We recommend prioritizing:
- A goal methodology that connects performance to purpose (like SMART HARD)
- Real-time dashboards with visibility tailored by user level (individual, manager, observer)
- Automated progress updates and reminders for consistent Execution
- Seamless collaboration and coaching tools that drive alignment conversations
- Thoughtful integrations—though we believe your goal system should be a destination, not just another add-on. (Turnkey currently integrates with Slack, with Teams on the roadmap.)
A great tool is less about endless customization and more about creating a clear, consistent framework that teams can rally around.
