Clarify Create Execute
At Mastertek we apply the EOF through a practical Clarify, Create and Execute workflow. The intent is to move from diagnosis to priorities to implementation without allowing the framework to become abstract.
| Phase | Purpose | Typical activities | Outputs |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clarify | Understand the current state. | Review survey results, workforce data, leadership perspectives, current strategies and people metrics. | Current-state themes, risks, strengths and priority questions. |
| Create | Identify priorities and design targeted responses. | Map findings to EOF Key Drivers, test priorities with leaders and develop strategic initiatives. | Prioritised initiatives, action plans, ownership and success measures. |
| Execute | Implement, measure and course-correct. | Embed actions into business rhythms, track lead/lag indicators and review progress. | Implementation discipline, scorecards, post-implementation reviews and continuous improvement. |
The working rhythm
| Stage | Practical question | Discipline |
|---|---|---|
| Clarify | What does the evidence tell us? | Understand the current state before deciding on action. |
| Create | What should we focus on? | Design a small number of targeted priorities. |
| Execute | How will this be delivered? | Assign owners, milestones, measures and review points. |
| Review | What is changing? | Course-correct, close the loop and refresh the evidence base. |
How this relates to the survey
The Employee Survey provides a strong starting point - aligned to our Clarify phase of work. It should then be combined with leadership and SME engagement, workforce metrics and existing plans before Council decides what to create and execute.
