Goal Strategic Drivers

The Goal Strategic Drivers report page presents the visuals listed below. Each row gives the on-screen name, its underlying metric, and a short description; see the metric glossary for the full formula and interpretation.

Visuals:

Name	Measure	Description
Total goals with strategic drivers	Count of distinct goals that have at least one strategic driver (tag)	Number of goals that are tagged with a strategic driver, i.e. linked to a strategic theme/priority the organisation tracks against. It shows how many goals are connected to strategy via tagging (distinct from parent-child alignment); read against # Goals to see the share that carry a driver. A goal with several drivers is counted once, since it's distinct goals, not tag assignments. Shared goals: counts goals, each once and attributed to its owner. A shared goal with a driver counts once; goals shared with someone never count as theirs. Individual, team and org goals are counted together.
Total goals by strategic driver	Count of distinct goals that have at least one strategic driver (tag)	Number of goals that are tagged with a strategic driver, i.e. linked to a strategic theme/priority the organisation tracks against. It shows how many goals are connected to strategy via tagging (distinct from parent-child alignment); read against # Goals to see the share that carry a driver. A goal with several drivers is counted once, since it's distinct goals, not tag assignments. Shared goals: counts goals, each once and attributed to its owner. A shared goal with a driver counts once; goals shared with someone never count as theirs. Individual, team and org goals are counted together.
Goals created over time	Count of goals, by created date (one point per period = goals created that period)	Number of goals created in each period; i.e. the goal-creation trend over time. Each goal lands in the period of its created date, so this is a per-period count (not a running total), useful for seeing spikes around review cycles or planning seasons and whether goal-setting is sustained or bursty. The points sum back to # Goals over the full range. Shared goals: counts goals, each once and attributed to its owner, placed at its creation date. A shared goal counts once; goals shared with someone never count as theirs. Individual, team and org goals are counted together.
Goal title word cloud	Frequency of each word across goal titles (word size = how often it appears)	Visual tally of the words used in goal titles, with more frequent words shown larger, surfacing the common themes people are setting goals around at a glance. It's a directional cue, not a metric: filler words can dominate, it reflects wording rather than outcomes, and it says nothing about how many goals or how they're progressing. Useful for spotting language patterns (e.g. lots of "revenue" or "customer") across the goal set. Shared goals: each goal's title feeds the cloud once, attributed to its owner. A shared goal's title is counted once; goals shared with someone never count as theirs. Individual, team and org goals are pooled together.
Top 5 strategic drivers	Count of goals per strategic driver (tag), keeping the 5 drivers with the highest goal counts	The five strategic drivers that the most goals are tagged with, ranked by how many goals sit under each, so you can see where goal-setting concentrates strategically. It highlights the dominant themes people attach their goals to; the long tail of less-used drivers is cut off by the top-5 limit. Because a goal can carry more than one driver, a single goal can contribute to several bars. Shared goals: counts goals per driver, each attributed to its owner. A shared goal tagged with a driver counts once under that driver; goals shared with someone never count as theirs. Individual, team and org goals are counted together.
