Delivering at Pace: common mistakes

Frequent reasons Delivering at Pace statements score poorly, and how to fix them.

  • Describing duties instead of actions that show delivering timely results with focus, pace and resilience.
  • Using a story that better fits another behaviour (rushing without judgement. Pace must still meet the required standard).
  • Writing "we" without your contribution.
  • No result, metric or feedback.
  • Pitching an AO-sized example at SEO or Grade 7.
