Map activities to performance objectives

Description

What? Give Copilot your performance objectives and the activities you’ve done this week, and ask it to map the activities against the objectives.

Why? It takes time to manually identify how the work we do maps up to specific performance objectives, and to write this up in a clear and concise way. Using Copilot for support can help make this process more efficient.

Instructions

Step 1: Find or create a document with your performance objectives (it could be Word doc, a spreadsheet or a PDF).

Step 2: Go to Copilot (office.com/chat) and sign in with your Coventry account. If you’re already using Copilot, just select the ‘New chat’ button at the top right.

Step 3: Select ‘Add a file’ (the paperclip 📎 icon) at the bottom right of the text box, and then in the file browser select the document on your computer which contains your performance objectives. Don’t press submit yet!

Step 4: Copy and paste the following prompt into the Copilot message box, then select the ‘Submit’ button (the arrow at the bottom-right):

🤖 Prompt (click to expand, then copy and paste into Copilot)

I’ve uploaded a document with my performance objectives for the year. 

First, ask me what my activities have been for the current week. Wait for my response.

When you have my response, map my weekly activities against my annual performance objectives, indicating which objective(s) each activity contributes to and how. Summarise my work against each objective in a maximum of two sentences so that I can add to my running commentary on how I am meeting these objectives across the year.  

Step 5: Check the summary and make any necessary tweaks, and then copy and paste it into Core clear review.

Important: Always check Copilot’s output. Generative AI tools can hallucinate (create plausible but incorrect information).
