Focus

Strategy that sticks.

Focus connects vision & strategy with the initiative of your teams. Company goals set the direction – teams actively shape how they contribute. Focus without micromanagement.

Direction over top-down goals

Strategy stays visible – and teams decide how they contribute most. No goals pushed down through hierarchies. Instead: teams that understand what matters – and take ownership.

Focus beats activity

Fewer parallel topics. More speed. Teams work on what really counts – and consciously let the rest go. Impact over busyness.

Fokusse schaffen Klarheit und Verantwortung

Communication, when it's needed

No extra meetings. Relevant conversations happen where the work happens – directly in Slack, Teams or Google Chat. Progress and blockers surface before they become a problem.

Agility over quarterly thinking

Priorities change. Quarterly cycles don't. Teams continuously adapt their focus – without waiting for the next planning round. Innovation doesn't need quarters. Agile ways of working foster creativity within company priorities.

Frequently asked questions

What distinguishes the approach from classic MAGs?

The point of view. Instead of evaluating past activities, the focus is on impact, the contribution to success. Nor are abstract lists of competencies checked off, but the specific value contribution to the company is discussed.

Why are both sides preparing separately (asynchronously)?

To avoid surprises during the conversation. Since the self-assessments and external assessments are visible to both of them before the deadline, the topics are open on the table. This creates psychological security and allows talking time to be used for real exchange instead of just opening up information and managing emotions.

Is the module suitable as a basis for salary decisions?

Yes Since the contribution to corporate success is discussed here, the module provides a fair basis or at least a component for salary rounds. This is deliberately separated from the development module so as not to jeopardize the learning atmosphere there.

How is subjectivity dealt with?

It is made transparent. Instead of pretending objectivity, the tool superimposes the perception of employees and managers. It gets exciting where the pictures differ. The tool helps to discuss these gaps constructively.

Do examples have to be laboriously collected?

No, the “documentary battle” is omitted. Instead of frantically looking for evidence of past behavior, wyrd limits oneself to the essence (1x “Keep it up” and 1x “There is still potential” per question). This saves time in preparation.

Does that also work without annual goals?

Absolutely. In fast-paced environments, annual goals often quickly become out of date. It is also very challenging to define meaningful and at the same time measurable goals. The focus on “impact” allows a more dynamic view: What value contribution does the person currently make to the team and the company? This is often more relevant than ticking off old goals.

How long does such a conversation last?

Thanks to transparent preparation, both sides get to the core faster. Preparation takes about 20 minutes and we recommend 30-40 minutes for the interview.

What happens when self-image and image of others are far apart?

This is where the tool provides the greatest value. The visualization makes the discrepancy neutrally visible. This constructively directs the conversation to the reasons for different perceptions. This is how people talk about expectations instead of arguing about right or wrong.

Is this the substitute for the classic annual meeting?

Yes, together with the development module. And more than that: wyrd enables more flexible cycles. Whether quarterly or half-yearly, the process is lean enough to discuss impact (and development) when it makes sense.
