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 employee insights, current WMS commitments and organisational plans, HR and workforce data, then test the combined evidence through leadership and SME reflection. | Agreed current-state themes, risks, strengths, uncertainties 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 the employee perspective and starts the Clarify phase. Council should then bring it together with current WMS commitments and organisational plans, relevant HR and workforce data, and leadership and SME reflection.
This integrated review is the basis for selecting priorities. Closing the loop with employees can begin earlier, but detailed actions should not be locked in from survey results alone.
