Planning, Organizing, and Setting Goals

Impact on the Organization

Organizations can no longer succeed merely by reacting to events. They must proactively plan to take control of their futures. Since their resources are limited, their plans must be carefully designed to return maximum value. To achieve maximum value, leaders and team members need strong expertise in setting realistic goals, organizing for action, developing effective tactics, and reinforcing good performance.

Learning Objectives

• Learn how to become a more effective leader by linking your company vision, values, organizational goals, and personal goals
• Identify and master the critical elements of goal-setting at both an organizational and employee level
• Develop a goal flow-down and reinforcement plan for your entire organization

Program Description

This highly interactive and comprehensive module focuses on the importance and techniques of careful planning and organization, and aids participants in setting optimal goals. Participants learn how to identify personal and company vision and values; define strategies for organizing; and set S.M.A.R.T. goals. Next, they create plans designed to reinforce the new skills and behaviors needed to achieve the goals they have defined. Through a simulation, participants will learn the high cost of poor planning and the crucial importance of clear goals.  Participants will interact with the instructor and each other, experiencing exercises and practice sessions that reinforce their skills by meaningfully applying them to everyday work situations.

Time Investment

Typically 4 hours, but can easily be expanded to reflect organizational content or additional requirements.
