The 12 Week Year is a productivity and goal-setting system that redefines the traditional annual planning cycle into 12-week cycles. This approach aims to increase focus, urgency, and execution, leading to improved results. The system is built on three core principles and five disciplines, including creating a compelling vision, setting 12-week goals, breaking goals into action plans, keeping a weekly scorecard, and establishing a weekly review. By shortening the planning horizon, individuals and organizations can achieve greater clarity, focus, and results. The 12 Week Year is designed to be a closed system, meaning that optimal results are achieved when all its components are applied together.
