Goal Setting

DONE3 – Define what you say (Done), Do what you say (Done), Follow up and ensure completion (Done).

Types of Goals​

Outcome-oriented goals​

This type of goal focuses primarily on the desired outcome. It might lack a hard deadline, with due dates and time frames worked into objectives, strategies, and tactics instead to keep your team moving and motivated. This goal type is incredibly impactful if your company is trying to implement changes in vision or values. An example would be to increase customer loyalty.

Time-based goals​

Time-based goals are one of the more common goal types. They give companies a specific time frame they need to adhere to, which will influence objectives, strategies, and tactics. Time-based outcomes are great to work toward short-term and long-term goals and help teams determine what they need to prioritize. A time-based goal could be to expand your customer base by the next quarter.

Process-oriented goals​

These goals usually lack a specific outcome, and objectives aim to guide workers through daily tasks. These goals are common during transitional periods, like changes in leadership or management, to help workers adjust. You might set a goal to communicate with your design team to discuss branding changes.

While objectives are the measurable steps you take to achieve a strategy, strategies are the approaches you take to achieve a goal.

Strategies are often solutions to specific problems, helping create to-do lists and action plans teams and departments can follow.
