Greenville Technical College (GTC) was awarded the 2023 Franklin Covey Greatness Award for exceptional work with the Four Disciplines of Execution goal-setting system.
Greenville Technical College is using the system to provide over 90 employee teams with the opportunity to set Wildly Important Goals, known as WIGs, that support the college’s most ambitious goals.
Those individual team efforts can have enormous impact. When one team met success with increasing the number of students earning certificates that were embedded into a longer academic program, the idea grew to a college-wide effort that has now been replicated by other institutions. Along the way, the process was automated, ensuring that all students who qualify are able to build their resumes before they graduate, helping them to experience success, and encouraging them to continue learning.
The college has now set the bar even higher, establishing the most aggressive student success rate goal in its history for 2025.
