What Would You Write for Your Personal Annual Report?

Jan 10

I know, two “cool” posts in a row. But I’m shunted onto a design and architecture siderail right now and I’m following that path. So, when I came across designer Nicholas Feltron’s 2006 Annual Report on Swissmiss, I thought I should share. Besides what a fantastic concept a personal annual report is, I was thinking what an HR Annual Report might look like. Then I started thinking, “Let’s stamp out bad performance review systems. How cool would it be if employees created a personal annual report instead of getting the one hour seven-things-you-did-right-and-three-things-you-did-wrong performance review?”

I’m going to start scrapbooking for my 2007 personal annual report right away. So far, I can add “two Starbucks’ cinnamon dolce lattes” to my liquid metric. And I’m going to put some more thought into this device as a performance review. I think this one has legs. Who says reading artsy sites is a waste of time?
