Your Progress Playbook

Progress Playbook

Hello BVisionRYs! 

In our "My Progress Playbook" workshop, we learned about effective follow up and updates, and you also built your own framework for them. We started by practicing a simple "Morning Update/ Last night’s sleep" and then, together, you created a toolkit for proactively updating stakeholders you work closely with. This included defining what, how, and when to update your direct manager and peers.

The purpose of this task: 

This assignment is designed to take what you’ve built and move it to the next level into real-world setting.  As a leader, being proactive is a critical skill. This practice is your opportunity to:

  • Build Trust: Show your manager you're not just an implementer waiting for instructions, but an owner taking full responsibility for your work.
  • Make Your Work Visible: Ensure your hard work is seen and that stakeholders know your progress.
  • Demonstrate Continuous Learning: You'll show that you know what's working and what's not, signaling that you are proactively driving your own continuous growth and change.
  • Act as a Business Partner: Demonstrate that you're an owner of your work, and that you are aware of how it feeds into the overall success of the business.

The process for completing this task:

You have two weeks (10 working days, remember weekends are for rest!) to complete this assignment. Please follow the steps below and submit your work.

Part 1: The Plan & The Update (Due in 5 working days):

  1. Prepare Your Update: Now that you have completed a module, draft an update for your manager about your journey to date with the BVisionRY Program. Include a brief about each learning, your practice, what's working so far, what is not, and your plan for improvement.
  2. Share Your Plan: Before you present your update to your manager, share it with us and let us help you with a quick review.  Hold on, your assignment is not complete yet, you just completed 80% of the work. 

Part 2: The Experience (Due in 5 working days):

  1. Book the Meeting: Schedule a time to meet with your manager to deliver your revised update.
  2. Summarize Your Experience: After the meeting, write down your experience. What went well? What was challenging? What did you learn from this process? What will you do differently next time?
  3. Submit to BVisionRY: Now it's time for you to update us! Submit your summary using the tool you decided to use for your updates.

This assignment is your first step in building a new, powerful habit of proactively updating all stakeholders you work with. I look forward to seeing the lessons from the workshop come to life in your actions. Congratulations on completing your module!
