SMART Objectives Job Aid

Job Objective PointersDon’t describe your work, drive your work.

It’s about the future, not the past. Focus on what lies ahead and what you will contribute.

Think noun and adjective. Use nouns and adjectives to name the result. Save verbs and adverbs for your action plan.

Build multiple measures into every objective.

Multiple measures increase the likelihood of your success and the quality of your product.

Identify the right measures to get the right result.

Ask yourself, “How will I know I did good work?” Good work is the right result, however it is defined.

Target Level 3 performance. Be clear about what your organization needs you to accomplish, then make it happen.

Focus on what matters most. Every contribution you make matters, though not all your contributions will be rated.

IntroductionOf all the functions involved in management, planning is the most important. As the old saying goes, “Failing to plan is planning to fail”. Setting goals and objectives is the first and most critical step in the planning process. Employers need to be sure all employees are well trained in how to set these important performance measurements.

This sample presentation is intended for presentation to all employees. It is designed to be presented by an individual who has knowledge of the basics of setting goals and objectives, of the employer’s own policies and practices on goals and objectives setting, tactical and strategic planning, and performance management. This is a sample presentation that must be customized to include and match the employer’s own policies and practices.

Goals vs. Objectives

Goals• General• Intangible• Broad• Abstract• Strategic – long-range direction,

set by top executives

Objectives• Specific• Measurable• Narrow• Concrete• Tactical – short-range, set by

mangers to accomplish goals

Although the terms “goals” and “objectives” are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between them:

Quiz – Goals vs. Objectives

Which of these are goals and which are objectives?

1. Increase profitability 2. Improve community relations3. Provide short-term disability insurance to employees by mid-year4. Improve employee computer skills

*Note to presenter: Ask “Is this a goal or an objective?” If a goal, ask what the related objective would be – if an objective, ask what the general goal might be

Importance of Setting Goals & Objectives

• Planning is the most important management function. – As the old quote goes, “Failing to plan is planning

to fail”

• Setting goals and objectives is important because it is the first and most critical step in a company’s planning process.

Page 10: Setting smart objectives

How We Set Goals & Objectives

• At (name of company) top management establishes our corporate goals each year and for the next 3-5 years as part of the company’s strategic plan.

• Under our Management by Objectives (MBO) process, individual managers use these goals to set their departmental objectives, their own objectives, and their employee’s individual objectives.

• We evaluate quality of performance of managers and employees based primarily on their accomplishment of these objectives.

Page 11: Setting smart objectives

11

SMART Objectives

At (name of company) we set SMART Objectives:

S SpecificM MeasurableA AchievableR RealisticT Time-oriented

Page 12: Setting smart objectives

12

Specific Objectives

Specific objectives are:

• Concrete• Detailed• Focused• Well-defined• Straight-forward• Action-oriented

Page 13: Setting smart objectives

13

Specific Objectives cont’d.

When setting objectives that are specific, ask:

• What am I going to do? Use action verbs such as develop, execute, conduct, build• Why is it important to do this?• Who is going to be involved?• When do I want this to be completed?• How am I going to do this?

Page 14: Setting smart objectives

14

Measurable Objectives

• Measurements for objectives help you know when you have accomplished them.

• If you set an objective that is measurable, when you complete it you have tangible evidence of completion.

Page 15: Setting smart objectives

15

Measurable Objectives cont’d.

When setting objectives that are measurable, ask:

• How will I know when this objective has been achieved?• What measurements can I use?

Page 16: Setting smart objectives

16

Achievable Objectives

• Achievable objectives are those that you can actually accomplish (something you can really do within the time frame set) and not an aspiration or vision.

• Achievable objectives need to challenge you but not so much so as to be unattainable or to cause frustration in being unable to complete.

Page 17: Setting smart objectives

17

Realistic Objectives

Realistic objectives are those that you have the resources to accomplish including:

– Skills– Funding– Equipment– Staff

Page 18: Setting smart objectives

18

Realistic Objectives cont’d.

When setting objectives that are realistic, ask:

– Do I have the resources to accomplish?– Do I need to rearrange my priorities to

accomplish?– Is it possible to complete this objective?

Page 19: Setting smart objectives

19

Time-Oriented Objectives

• Time-oriented objectives are those which have deadlines for completion. The time frames create sufficient urgency and lead to action.

• The deadlines, just as with overall objectives, must be achievable and realistic.

• For a complex objective, break into small parts with a date for completion for each.

Page 20: Setting smart objectives

20

When setting objectives that are time-oriented, ask:

– What is the earliest yet achievable and realistic date for this objective to be completed?

– Have I included this date in the statement of the objective?

Time-Oriented Objectives cont’d.

Polling Question #1

I know the difference between a goal and objective (It’s ok if you’re not sure)

Yes

No

Page 25: Setting smart objectives

Goals and Objectives Defined

• Goals relate to our aspirations, purpose and vision. For example, I have a goal of becoming financially independent.

• Objectives are the battle plan, the stepping stones on the path towards the achievement of my goal.

Page 26: Setting smart objectives

Getting SMARTer• Process objectives

– Lets you know what you are doing and how you will do it; describes participants, interactions and activities

• Impact objectives– Lets you know what the long term implications of

your program/activity will be; describes the longer term impact on your target audience or organization

Page 27: Setting smart objectives

Getting SMARTerOutcome objectives

Lets you know how you will change attitudes, knowledge or behavior (short term); describe the degree to which you expect this change

Personal objectivesPersonal development is an ideal application for SMARTer objectives. Often we see SMARTer objectives written for project management or business and performance management, however as individuals in our personal development plans, SMARTer objectives are also a valuable formula within which to set and individual measure performance.

Page 28: Setting smart objectives

Key Components of a Work Objective

ConditionsSets the situation and/or environment in which the staff member is required to work

within...Acceptable levels of Performance

Consider what level of performance is deemed acceptable in terms of Quality (i.e. how effectively the work should be performed), Quantity (i.e. how much is produced) and/or Timeliness (i.e. how quickly or in what timeframe the outcome is to be achieved).

MeasuresInclude clear measures (quality, quantity, cost, timeliness and frequency of

completion) so both parties can track progress and readjust priorities if necessary, to ensure performance outcomes can be achieved

Page 29: Setting smart objectives

Polling Question #2

Tests for a Good Objective—A Memory Tool

• It must be Specific,• It must be Measurable,• It must be Attainable,

There need to be enough Resources

• It must be Timed, and• It must be IMPORTANT

Page 34: Setting smart objectives

How Do You Know What’s “Important”?

Page 35: Setting smart objectives

Time Frame

Page 36: Setting smart objectives

SMART objective are the stepping stones towards the achievement of our goals……

Page 37: Setting smart objectives

Specific• WHAT am I going to do? This are best written using

strong, action verbs such as conduct, develop, build, plan, execute, etc. This helps your objective to be action-orientated and focuses on what’s most important.

• WHY is this important for me to do?• WHO is going to do what? Who else need to be

involved?• WHEN do I want this to be completed?• HOW am I going to do this?

Page 38: Setting smart objectives

SpecificDiagnostic Questions

• What exactly are we going to do, with or for whom?• What strategies will be used?• Is the objective well understood?• Is it clear who is involved?• Is it clear where this will happen?• Is it clear what needs to happen?• Is the outcome clear?• Will this objective lead to the desired results?

Page 39: Setting smart objectives

Measured

If the objective is measurable, it means that the measurement source is identified and we are able to track the results of our actions, as we progress towards achieving the objective. Measurement is the standard used for comparison.

Page 40: Setting smart objectives

Diagnostic Questions• Can we get it done in the proposed timeframe?• Do I understand the limitations and constraints?• Can we do this with the resources we have?• Has anyone else done this successfully?• Is this possible?

Page 41: Setting smart objectives

Realistic

Objectives that are achievable, may not be realistic….. however, realistic does not mean easy. Realistic means that you have the resources to get it done. The achievement of an objective requires

Page 42: Setting smart objectives

Time Bound

Time-bound is defined as setting deadlines for the achievement of the objective. Deadlines create an important sense of urgency. If you don’t set a deadline, you will reduce the motivation and urgency required to execute the tasks. Deadlines create the necessary urgency and prompts action.

Page 43: Setting smart objectives

Goals vs. Objectives

• Goals are your general intentions, the big picture aims. Your objectives are the outcomes that represent achievement of that goal. Things you can actually observe. In order to be classified as an objective, something has to be measurable. You need a way of defining whether or not you have completed them successfully

Page 44: Setting smart objectives

Measurement and ROIMeasuring success, however, can be different than ROI.

You can have successful outcomes that are not measurable in terms of dollars. Qualitative ones like awareness and reach, and quantitative ones like website traffic.

they manage both themselves and their time– Managing oneself is largely concerned with

learning how to make oneself more effective– Managing time is largely concerned with making

oneself more efficient

Page 56: Setting smart objectives

“Always demanding the bestof oneself, living with honor, devoting one’s talents and gifts to the benefit of

others—these are the measures of success that endure when material things have passed

away”

Gerald Ford

Page 57: Setting smart objectives

Managing Oneself

• When people engage in self-management, they are engaging in a practice of determining what qualities lead to agility and success

• Self-management also involves learning how to develop those qualities to build and maintain relationships

Page 58: Setting smart objectives

Success In Today’sKnowledge Economy

• Success in today’s knowledge economy comes to those who know:– Their strengths– Their values– How they best perform

Page 59: Setting smart objectives

Accountability

• Why some people succeed and others do not is largely due to how they manage their accountabilities

• Accountability refers to being responsible for someone or some activity

– Two facets1. Simply performing the activities specified2. How effectively the person performs those activities

Page 60: Setting smart objectives

Maintaining Accountability

• Maintaining accountability involves several aspects:– What the salesperson wants to be– How the salesperson is going to get there– The salesperson’s assessment of how she is doing

Page 61: Setting smart objectives

“A great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically

connect us to all sorts of serendipitousopportunities that were somehow

absent before we changed”

Earl Nightingale

Page 62: Setting smart objectives

Attitude: The Great Motivator

• The difference between the professional and the amateur is more a matter of attitude

Refer to Table 13.4 Things Salespeople Should Avoid

Page 77: Setting smart objectives

Managing Time

• Covey’s third principle deals with prioritizing• The primary reason people cannot find time to

be reflective is that they mix up what is urgent and what is important

Page 78: Setting smart objectives

“People become addicted to the urgent.They simply define important as urgent. They neglect preventive thinking, they neglect long-term strategic thinking, they neglect the building of high trust relationships, and they are consumed by an addiction called urgency”

Stephen Covey

Page 79: Setting smart objectives

Importance and Urgency

• Four combinations of importance and urgency relate to activities in which salespeople engage:– Not important, not urgent– Not important, but urgent– Important, but not urgent– Important and urgent

It’s About Time

• Time is a precious resource that should be used wisely

• The allocation of time between nonselling and selling activities represents one of the salesperson’s most important challenges

Managing Interruptions

• Constant day-to-day interruptions are huge time-wasters for people– Unnecessary visits– Unplanned social conversations and meetings

• Self-sabotage is another form of wasting time– Procrastination– Perfectionism

Page 90: Setting smart objectives

Clearing the Clutter

• A good way for salespeople to eliminate clutter and get organized is to – Standardize all routine tasks– Consolidate tasks by combining separate but

similar ones– Redistribute work to the appropriate people– Anticipate what is to come by identifying tasks

that can be done in advance

Page 91: Setting smart objectives

Managing Appointments

• Salespeople should work cold calls and appointments concurrently because this maximizes the salesperson’s available time

• Many salespeople use both appointments and cold calls, reserving their cold calls for fact gathering and finding out about a company’s products

Refer to Table 13.6 Working Appointments and Cold Calls

Page 92: Setting smart objectives

Calling on ProspectsWho Can Buy Now

• The salesperson’s best opportunity to impress prospects is on the first call

• The average cost of a sales call is increasing• Calling on customers who are not “real”

prospects costs a lot of money

Page 93: Setting smart objectives

Personal Efficiency

• Salespeople who are striving to increase their efficiency should record their transactions using:– A Personal Digital Assistant (PDA)– A Pocket Calendar or Day Planner– A Tickler File

Page 94: Setting smart objectives

Those who are persistent and who work hard and work smart can fulfill their visions

Page 95: Setting smart objectives

Going Back In Time

lets you know what you are doing and how you will do it; describes participants, interactions and activities

Impact objectives lets you know what the long term implications of your program[me]/ activity will

be; describes the longer term impact on your target audience or organization Outcome objectives

lets you know how you will change attitudes, knowledge or behavior (short term); describe the degree to which you expect this change

Personal objectives SMARTer objectives are often written for project management or business and

performance management, however as individuals in our personal development plans, SMARTer objectives are also a valuable formula within which to set and individual measure performance.

DefinitionsSpecific Measurable Achievable Realistic Time

Objectives should specify what they need to achieve

You should be able to measure whether you are meeting the objectives or not

Are the objectives you set, achievable and attainable?

Can you realistically achieve the objectives with the resources you have?

When do you want to achieve the set objectives?

128

Page 129: Setting smart objectives

Detail SpecificAcronym element

Description Diagnostic Questions

Specific Specific means that the objective is concrete, detailed, focused and well defined.

The objective must be straight forwards and emphasize action and the required outcome.

Specific also means that it’s results and action-orientated.

Objectives need to be straightforward and to communicate what you would like to see happen. To help set specific objectives it helps to ask:

WHAT am I going to do? This are best written using strong, action verbs such as conduct, develop, build, plan, execute, etc. This helps your objective to be action-orientated and focuses on what’s most important.

WHY is this important for me to do?

WHO is going to do what? Who else need to be involved?

WHEN do I want this to be completed?

HOW am I going to do this?

 

What exactly are we going to do, with or for whom?

What strategies will be used?

Is the objective well understood?

Is the objective described with action verbs?

Is it clear who is involved?

Is it clear where this will happen?

Is it clear what needs to happen?

Is the outcome clear?

Will this objective lead to the desired results?

129

Page 130: Setting smart objectives

Detail Measurable Measurable If the objective is measurable, it means that the

measurement source is identified and we are able to track the actions as we progress towards the objective. Measurement is the standard used for comparison.

For example, what financially independence means to one person, may be totally different compared to what is means for another.

If you cannot measure it .. you cannot manage it

It’s important to have measures that will encourage and motivate you on the way as you see the change occurring, this may require interim measures.

Measurements (and the visible progress) go along way to help us to know when we have achieved our objective.

How will I know that the change has occurred?

Can these measurements be obtained?

 

130

Page 131: Setting smart objectives

AchievableAchievable Objectives need to be achievable, if the

objective is too far in the future, you’ll find it difficult to keep motivated and to strive to attain it.

Objectives, unlike your aspirations and visions, need to be achievable to keep you motivated.

Objectives need to stretch you, but not so far that you become frustrated and lose motivation.

Can we get it done in the proposed timeframe?

Do I understand the limitations and constraints?

Can we do this with the resources we have?

Has anyone else done this successfully?

Is this possible?

 

131

Page 132: Setting smart objectives

RealisticRealistic Objectives that are achievable, may not

be realistic….. however, realistic does not mean easy. Realistic means that you have the resources to get it done.

The achievement of an objective requires resources, such as, skills, money, equipment, etc. to the task required to achieve the objective. Whilst keeping objectives realistic, ensure that they stretch you.

Most objectives are achievable but, may require a change in your priorities to make them happen.

Do you have the resources available to achieve this objective?

Do I need to revisit priorities in my life to make this happen?

Is it possible to achieve this objective?

 

132

Page 133: Setting smart objectives

TimeboundTime Time-bound means setting a

deadlines for the achievement of the objective. Deadlines need to be both achievable and realistic.

If you don’t set a time you will reduce the motivation and urgency required to execute the tasks. Agreed Time frames create the necessary urgency and prompts action.

When will this objective be accomplished?

Is there a stated deadline?

Writing SMART objectives

• Don't try to use that order M-A/R-S-T is often the best way to write objectives.

Page 135: Setting smart objectives

Writing SMART objectives

• Measurable is the most important consideration.

• You will know that you've achieved your objective, because here is the evidence.

Page 136: Setting smart objectives

Measurable

• Summary: Is there something measurable to assess progress towards the objective?

Page 137: Setting smart objectives

Achievability

• Summary: With a reasonable amount of effort and application can the objective be achieved?

Page 138: Setting smart objectives

Realistic

• Summary: Can the people with whom the objective is set make an impact on the situation? Do they have the necessary knowledge, authority and skills?

Page 139: Setting smart objectives

SpecificWho is going to do how much of what by when?

• By September 2007, all health educators in our district will have participated in a district-wide mapping and alignment workshop.

• By January, 2008 all health educators in our district will have completed an update to our k-12 health curriculum scope and sequence.

Page 140: Setting smart objectives

Specificity

• Summary: Is there a description of a precise or specific behavior/outcome which is linked to a rate, number, percentage or frequency?

Page 141: Setting smart objectives

Time based

• In the objective somewhere there has to be a date

• (Day/Month/Year) for when the task has to be started (if it's ongoing) and/or completed (if it's short term or project related).

• Simply: No date = No good.

The Madness of Management• The trouble is, some mangers

believe they can carry on doing the same things, yet achieve different results, but…

• If you always do what you always did, you’ll always get what you always got!

The biggest enemy of sustained growth is “cultural lock-in”, the phenomenon by which managers get attracted to existing products and processes

To successfully achieve the changes needed, we will require a balance of hard and soft skills. We’ll need some different behaviors. And some different thinking

Strategy Planning processes vs. Scenario Planning (New Mindset)

• Managing uncertainty– Problem: Choosing and following direction curing time of uncertainty– Solution: Imagine possible futures, then make a strategic decisions.– Map scenario to the future

• Strategy in Motion (make decisions, move forward recognizing that decision may be wrong) – a deliberate plan of action– a continuous process– Reactive or Proactive

Page 187: Setting smart objectives

Strategy Planning processes vs. Scenario Planning (New Mindset)

• Strategic Visioning Process– Imagine end-state scenario– Identify events for each end-state– Map scenario to the future

Scenario Planning Methodology is used for Strategic Visioning, this methodology differs from the Strategy Planning processes in that it encourages future and visionary thinking to identify possibilities going forward

There are three basic components to the Strategic Vision:• End-States• Events• Scenarios that describe the sequence of events necessary to achieve a

possible end-state.

SummaryAlthough the terms “goals” and “objectives” are often used interchangeably, there are significant differences:

– Goals are general, intangible, broad, abstract, and long-range directions generally set by top executives

– Objectives are specific, measurable, narrow, concrete, and are short-range plans generally set by managers to accomplish goals.

Page 232: Setting smart objectives

Summary cont’d.

• Setting goals and objectives is important because it is the first and most critical step in the planning process.

• Under our MBO process, top management sets our corporate goals. Managers use these goals to set department objectives, their own objectives and their employees’ objectives.
