The document discusses how to write SMART objectives that are specific, measurable, attainable, results-oriented, and timely in order to effectively plan work and measure progress, provides examples of poorly written objectives that are too broad or not measurable, and illustrates well-written objectives that clearly define who will do what by when and to what standard.
Next topic on Management Process. Objective setting is critical in the management process. If the objective set is practically feasible, it is good and can be met.
This is a presentation I used when doing a training session on goal setting for my Leadership Team. The content is adapted from a presentation I found on SHRM's website. The Pinto picture seems out of place, but I used it to spring board into a story showing how goal setting went "bad" at Ford with the design and production of the Pinto.

Seven Transformations of Strategic PlanningVirtual, Inc.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, strategic planning became a critical need for many organizations. New challenges emerged. Interesting opportunities presented themselves. For some organizations, new financial realities required urgent action.
Yet, at the same time, many organizations struggled tremendously to find ways to perform strategic planning effectively in all-remote formats. That included the frustrations of finding that magical meeting time that would work for everyone. Long Zoom meetings where attendees quickly lose interest. Planning sessions dominated by the same strong voices time and again.
To ensure we could help our respective client organizations perform strategic planning effectively in our “new reality,” Virtual, Inc. partnered with Peoplesworth, an organizational development consultancy, to re-imagine our approaches to strategic planning. What emerged from that collaboration are new methods for strategic facilitation that have led to remarkable client outcomes and will undoubtedly remain in our playbook for the long term.

Effective KPIs: 6 common problems in target setting and how to solve themAleksey Savkin
Effective KPIs cannot be just copied from some industry list, one need to develop them in the specific business context and align with company's objectives. Learn how to avoid 6 typical problems with KPIs and target settings.
I created this presentation based on a similar presentation I found on SHRM’s website to teach an in-house seminar on goal setting.
Note: near the end of the presentation there appears to be a random slide of a Ford Pinto advertisement. I used it as a spring board into how the Ford Pinto story showcases goal setting gone bad. The story was completely oral, so…sorry, you had to be there.
Rewarding Employees for their efforts and inputs is a sure shot way to increase employee motivation and morale.An effective performance appraisal is a balanced finely tuned system that ensures a Win-Win situation to both the employer and the employee. Here are the basics decoded.
Measuring Performance: Linking Money To Mission4Good.org
In the mission-oriented nonprofit world, it can sometimes be difficult to get your team to focus on the relationship between money coming in and the organization’s ability to effectively deliver programs and services to its constituents. While top-line measures are exciting they can also be distracting and counterproductive if they are not properly accounted for and effectively presented. Peeling back the covers on your finance organization can help your team, executive director, staff and board members truly understand your financial situation and see how finances directly impact programs. Financial operations reviews deliver insight. Reviews help organizations move beyond budgets and expenses into staffing, policies and processes. You will learn…
• The 5 “must ask” questions
• The 3 reports you should study
• The secrets of financial management
• How to determine financial viability of new programs and link money with mission
The Talent Management Navigator Performance ManagementSeta Wicaksana
Effective Performance Management supports the achievement of both individual and business objectives. Through the Performance Management Process:
Employees understand how the work they are doing supports the broader goals of the organization
Employees understand what is expected of them, how they’re performing against those expectations, and how they can continue to improve their performance and contributions to advance their own career and business objectives
Managers provide feedback and coaching throughout the year to support employees in sustaining and improving their performance and developing their capabilities in alignment with their career goals
Employees and managers maintain on-going communications about performance and development progress and use the Company’s approved documents and/or technology to document progress
2. What is an Objective?
• Objective – something which you plan to do or achieve; an
aim or a purpose.
“The difference between where we are (current status) and
where we want to be (vision and goals) is what we do
(target objectives and action plans)”
3. S.M.A.R.T Objectives
• Specific
• Measurable
• Attainable
• Results Oriented
• Timely
Once we have created SMART objectives we can then assign
them to the appropriate Performance Dimension
4. Examples of Poorly Written Objectives
• Too broad/general
• Not measurable
• Open to interpretation
• Not timely
• Examples:
– Improve customer service
– Increase sales revenue
– Improve communication skills
– Improve efficiency
5. Writing S.M.A.R.T Objectives
• Objectives are meant to be realistic targets
• Objectives are written in an active tense, using strong verbs
like plan, write, conduct, produce, etc.
• They will always answer the following question:
“WHO is going to do WHAT, WHEN, and TO WHAT
STANDARD?”
6. Example of a Well Written Objective
“Meet with all staff twice a year to conduct performance reviews”
• Specific – Individuals know exactly what is to be achieved.
• Measurable – “twice a year” – quantity or quality. Goals can be
tracked and reviewed
• Attainable – Goals are reasonable & achievable
• Results Oriented – support goals of department and vision of
organization
• Timely – Goals to be achieved within a specific timeframe
7. Example of a Well Written Objective
“Take M004 (Conflict Management) course through
Metroland Talent Development on April18th, 2012”
• Specific – outlines action to take
• Measurable – course completion
• Attainable – reasonable within job requirement
• Results oriented – course application
• Timely – specific date
8. Example of a Well Written Objective
“Increase sales revenue by 10% over
previous year (2011) by the end of 2012”
• Specific – 10%
• Measurable – year over year
• Attainable – reasonable within job requirement
• Results Oriented – tied to organization’s overall objective
• Timely – end of 2012
9. Writing Objectives Summary
In all cases, work objectives
should be
clear, measurable, and timely
statements of the work to be
accomplished and the results
expected from that work.
