Quarterly review

The quarterly review beats the annual review.

A weekview planner with a quarterly balance

Learning while it is still fresh.

In brief:

The quarterly review is the assessment of Your 90 days: You check what the three quarterly goals delivered, what You have learnt and what You take into the next quarter. It beats the annual review – because memory and feelings are still present and corrections are possible early.

Why quarterly

An annual review comes too late: much has faded, and corrections only take effect next year. The quarterly review gives You four times a year the chance to take honest stock and adjust course straight away.

weekview principle

Quarterly review > annual review

Memory and feelings are still fresh, corrections are possible early – that makes the quarter the most valuable level for looking back.

Three questions for taking stock

What did the quarter deliver? Which goals have been reached?
What have 13 weeks earned? Which patterns show up across the weeks?
What do I take with me? Which insight shapes the next quarter?

From the review to the next quarter

The quarterly review and quarterly planning belong together: the three goals for the next quarter come directly out of the assessment. That closes the circle – review, learn, realign.

That is the most valuable part: understanding why. The correction for the next quarter comes out of it.
