Setting Goals

Re: Setting Goals

I do think it matters what industry you are in. I would hate to have an airline have a goal that they would be 95% crash free, especially if I had stock in them.

I agree that it depends on the situation. If it is a very simple process and their is clear accountability and there is a reasonalble chance of getting 100% than thats what it should be.

Re: Setting Goals

It is hard to think of a process that you would not want nor would it not be feasible to obtain 100% if there is the process is wrong or needs to be broken down into smaller components

I agree most process goals should strive for 100% quality what message would you be sending to your employees otherwise?

Re: Setting Goals

I think all goals can be set at 100% which has a psychological benefit. For example if you set a revenue goal of 2 million - to reach it would be 100% anything less would reduce the 100% prorata.

I agree you need some process improvements if you cannot get to 100%

Re: Setting Goals

A goal is something you want to achieve. A short-term goal is something you want to achieve soon. Examples of short-term goals are finishing your homework and doing well on tomorrow's test. A long-term goal is something you want to achieve at some later date. Examples of long-term goals are writing a paper and passing a class.

To set appropriate goals, you must know what is important for you to accomplish. Then you must set specific and clearly stated goals. If you do not have clearly stated goals, your effort will lack direction and focus. Write your goals to have a record of them.
