Effectiveness

The use of resources to produce a desired outcome. An outcome might be effective, yet it may have been achieved efficiently or inefficiently.

  Efficiency

How well a desired outcome is achieved, with a minimum of wastage in resources and effort. Efficiency is often measured and represented as a ratio to indicate how close the activity is to an ideal optimum.

  Eisenhower Matrix

This time management technique splits into four categories for work prioritisation, based on how important and urgent the tasks are.

  Endure [2]

Something which lasts for a long time (i.e. many years), on a continual basis. An item, product, material or process which endures in a beneficial way might be considered as being sustainable, or contributing to a system which is sustainable, although the context of the claim would need to be confirmed, objectively, to avoid claims of greenwashing.

  Enhanced ++ Maintenance

A category of turf maintenance which categorises variables in a way that captures the general outcomes and returns from inputs to a sports turf surface. It was difficult to choose a term for this level as it is similar to another called “over-engineering”, so there can actually be a fine line between the two terms.

  Enhanced Maintenance

A category of turf maintenance which categorises variables in a way that captures the general outcomes and returns from inputs to a sports turf surface. For this category, additional physical-mechanical and material inputs and fine-tuning will be undertaken, and these will primarily only significantly improve surfaces where a better understanding of the management of turfgrass surfaces is applied. Increased efforts without applied understanding will not necessarily improve the desired outcome. There will be a reducing return for the inputs made at the enhanced level, but surface and present

  Enhanced Plus Maintenance

A category of turf maintenance which categorises variables in a way that captures the general outcomes and returns from inputs to a sports turf surface. It was difficult to choose a term for this level as it is similar to another called “over-engineering”, so there can actually be a fine line between the two terms. This type of maintenance will be an extra added activity, often going outside of optimum conditions for grass growth, but which is primarily and extensively focused on meeting specific presentational expectations. Examples for a football pitch, especially where it is based on a

  Environmental Aspect

Any part of an organisation's interaction with the environment, which may in turn also cause an environmental impact. The mowing of grass is an environmental aspect as this can, for example, create noise pollution, air pollution from CO2 emissions, waste from grass clippings.

  Environmental Horticulture

A similar term to amenity horticulture. However, with a greater political and social interest in modern times for biodiversity and sustainability the focus has, arguably, become more on managing plants in public spaces to better support these issues rather than just managing plants to create attractive or relaxing spaces as was more the case in the past.
