There will be targets and milestones (including a reaffirmed commitment to meet the 2020 child poverty targets), and "focused conversations" with colleagues, says Lewis.
They attribute any deviations to poor management and execution and, to minimize them, carefully track every step against intermediate targets and milestones.
Vision, brand promise, strategic and operational priorities, and values lie in between, along with the targets and milestones that will measure your progress in each element.
The other elements vision, targets and milestones, strategic and operational priorities, brand promise, core values, and leader behaviors must be aligned to serve the company's purpose.
While well meaning in its focus on the regeneration of the high road, its buzz words and jargon mean little as the report has few measurable targets or milestones.
But in January, the Guardian and Greenpeace's Unearthed unit revealed that despite a pledge to develop "ambitious new future targets and milestones", behind the scenes the UK government was opposing strong new EU recycling targets.
The government subsequently set two ambitious targets as milestones on the journey: to have reduced the number of poor children by at least a quarter in 2004-05; and to have cut it by half in 2010-11.Child poverty, conjuring up images of Victorian paupers like Tiny Tim, is an emotive term for what is now a relative measure of income inequality rather than an absolute indicator of destitution.
