Effective goal-setting techniques for business people need to make the subjective to objective and measurable (where possible, without stressing too much on accounting). At the same time, they can be inspirational and reachable and broken down to be reachable in the short-term.
Key Highlights
Effective Goal-Setting Techniques:
- OKR (Objectives and Key Results): A goal-setting system focusing on defining clear objectives and measurable key results to drive performance and alignment within organizations.
- Balanced Scorecard: A management framework considering financial, customer, business process, and organizational perspectives to provide a comprehensive view of strategic goals.
