28. • What is Goals?
• Goals are broad statements of intent
meant to give and indication as to where
an organization, or an individual, is
heading with a focus some time in the
future.
• The Strategic Goals are the major areas
that need to be focused on and be given
resources in order for the organisation
to be successful.
Writing Strategic And
Operational Goals
29. How do we relate to goals
• Your relationship to the strategic goals of the
organization will depend on your level within the
management hierarchy.
• If you are a senior or line manager reporting to your
Chief Executive , then you may have been
instrumental in setting the strategic goals of your
company and will be able to identify one or more of
those goals as being your principal focus for the
future.
• In most cases, Divisions/units have those goals
already identified for their idea and you should have
access to that information during this workshop.

42. Definition
“KRAs are those areas in which a high level of
performance is required in order to be successful
during a specified period. They constitute the key
results, outputs or contributions of either a group or
an individual.”
Purpose
• Help a manager direct limited resources (time,
money, people, plant and equipment) to the most
important areas where the return on effort will be
greatest.
• Prevent managers getting locked into "the activity
trap" which involves people "doing things right",
rather than "doing the right thing". Doing the right
thing is concern for achieving results.
• Help focus on areas where managers should invest
their time, energy and talent.
• Help identify areas for which objectives are set.
• Assist in the setting of priorities.
• Help define each person's unique contribution
Key Result Area
KEY RESULTS AR
EA
43. Key Results Area are results or
output
• Remember KRA is our / departments’
results or outputs
• KRA is not an activity but a set of activities
Example
• Attending a meeting is NOT a KRA (Verb)
• Meeting customer is NOT a KRA (Verb)
• Customer Satisfaction is a KRA (Noun)
• Policy Papers is a KRA (Noun)
44. Example
NOT THIS THIS
Ensure training is
always based on needs
analysis.
Influencing staff to perform to the required
.
Standards by example.

58. “KPIs are those quantifiable factors within a
KRA, for which it is worthwhile to derive
objectives. They identify only WHAT will be
measured not HOW MUCH or BY WHEN.”
“A unit of measurement for which measurable
standards can be established, to measure the
performance of individuals, teams, or the whole
organisation
What is KPI
59. Why do we
need KPI?
• They provide the link between Goals, Key Result Areas and
measurable objectives.
• They extend us to think about creative and relevant ways to
objectively measure the results (outputs) of our efforts.
• They establish a measurable value on our unique contribution to our
organisation's goals.
• They force us to think about how to measure our staffs' contributions
to business unit goals and objectives.
• They avoid the trap of measuring activities rather than Key Results.
• They contribute to removing subjectivity from performance appraisal.

70. Review of Definitions
A strategy map is a simple graphic that shows a logical, cause-
and-effect connection between strategic objectives (shown as
ovals on the map). It is one of the most powerful elements in the
a strategy development framework, as it is used to quickly
communicate how value is created by the organization.
A Key Performance Indicator is a measurable value that
demonstrates how effectively a company is achieving key
business objectives
Goals are broad statement of intention
Objectives are specific action oriented targets that can
be defined, visualised and committed to writing
Strategic initiatives is a project or action that is carefully defined
and designed to achieve strategic objectives
