To get the maximum impact from the process it is necessary to put some structure around our Objectives. The current Best Practice when it comes to setting targets is to use SMART
SMART stands for:
SPECIFIC – how much and when
MEASURABLE – how we will know when we get there
ATTAINABLE – are they reasonably achievable
RELEVANT – are they important and worth persuing
TRACKABLE – can the progress be tracked over time to the end result
Goals should be regularly reviewed using the Plan-Do-Check-Act methodology of Continual Improvement
