Abstract: The present invention relates generally to a system and method for the precise communication of strategic activities to employees and the assessment of employee performance based upon the strategic activities. More specifically, it describes a system and process for clearly defining strategic activities that need to be completed by an individual with a specific job title. These strategic activities are defined as Dimensioned Activity Descriptions (DADs). Each DAD is comprised of four quadrants, each of which indicates the activities required to meet one of four levels of performance. The assessment process is fully automated with both employee and assessors being able to comment on an assessment before it is finalized and stored. Reports are automatically generated, typically monthly and yearly to ensure that assessments are being performed on an ongoing basis.
