As part of preparing material for the Agendashift and X-Matrix Masterclass I’m running with Mike Burrows next month, I started thinking about how the idea of Impact, Outcome and Output (that blog is from 2012) could be overlaid onto the TASTE approach. Back then I described the relationship between them as:
Outputs create Outcomes which have Impact
Give the outcome-oriented perspective of Agendashift, we can reverse this and rewrite it as:
Impact is a result of Outcomes which are generated by Outputs
We can then map Impact, Outcomes and Outputs onto TASTE by breaking Outcomes into long term, medium term and short term as follows.
- True North – the Impact we want to have
- Aspirations – the long term Outcomes we hope to achieve
- Strategies – the medium term Outcomes we hope to achieve
- Evidence – the short term Outcomes we hope to achieve
- Tactics – the Outputs we want to deliver
Obviously that breaks the Acronym slightly, but the model is still the same. We can see this by overlaying onto the X-Matrix Template
This seems like a useful way of framing the relationships between the various elements of the model and I’m looking forward to exploring and experimenting with the idea during the masterclass.
Tickets are still available if you’d like to be part of the experience and can get to Brighton for October 9-11. And you might as well stick around for Lean Agile Brighton the following day!
