OGSM Quarterly Review Template

V2MOM / OGSM 90 min Quarterly Leadership team and strategy owners (5-12 people)

The OGSM quarterly review keeps a one-page plan honest. The objective stays fixed, but goals get scored, strategies get tested against whether they are actually working, and measures separate real progress from motion. This OGSM template structures that quarterly reckoning so the plan adapts without losing its shape.

When to use it

Run it once a quarter, after the prior quarter is closed and the numbers behind your goals are reliable. It pairs with a lighter monthly check-in: the quarterly review is where the strategies are genuinely reassessed, not just reported on.

Who attends

Bring the leadership team plus the owners of goals and strategies, five to twelve people. These are the people who can say what moved a goal, what a strategy actually produced, and what should change. Keep it to those empowered to adjust the plan.

How to run it

Re-anchor on the objective, then score each goal against target with a real number. Test the strategies next, which is the heart of an OGSM review: a strategy that is not moving its goals should be changed or dropped, not defended. Read the measures behind the strategies to tell genuine progress from busywork. Make adjustments explicit, updating goals, strategies, measures, and owners, then set a clear focus for the next quarter. The output is a refreshed one-page plan, not a status deck.

Facilitator tips

  • Keep the objective fixed; this review changes goals, strategies, and measures.
  • Demand a number for every goal rather than a story of effort.
  • Judge each strategy by whether it moved a goal, not by how busy it was.
  • Capture every adjustment with an owner so the page stays current.

Common mistakes

  • Reviewing progress but never changing a strategy that is not working.
  • Rewriting the objective each quarter and losing continuity.
  • Confusing strategy activity with goal movement.
  • Updating goals but leaving owners and cadence untouched.

Keep your one-page plan adapting all year. Run it in OrgTP and track goals, strategies, and measures quarter over quarter.
