title: An innovative approach to goal setting and reporting in a complex organization.
abstract: Managing multiple priorities and achieving sustainable outcomes is a challenge for leaders across health care organizations. One academic health science centre set about to address this challenge through the development of an innovative annual goal and objectives process that aligned every unit/department around organizational priorities. The results have enabled exceptional outcomes for individuals, teams, patients/families and the organization as a whole.
