SMART Goals S • Questions to Consider… • WHO needs to be involved? • WHAT needs to be accomplished? • WHERE will this happen? • WHEN does this need to happen? • WHICH strategies will be used? • WHY is accomplishing this goal necessary? • Specific means the objective is concrete, detailed, focused and well defined • Contains an action verb that leads to a specific outcome • Defines some or all of the following: • Who? What? • Where? When? • Which? Why?
SMART Goals M • Questions to Consider… • How many measurements are needed? • How will I know when measurements have been achieved? • Can objectives be met given the changes in circumstances? • Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward attainment of the goal • Measures should inspire, encourage and motivate • Measurements help you and others recognize when objectives have been accomplished • What is not measured, can’t be managed • As changes occur, interim measures may be necessary
SMART Goals A • Questions to Consider… • Can this be done in the proposed time frame? • Do I understand the limitations and constraints? • Is this possible if I fully apply myself and my resources? • Purpose of achieving goals is to inspire & motivate • Objectives should stretch & challenge your capabilities, but must also be within your reach • Opportunities to develop attitudes, abilities, skills and capabilities to accomplish the goal must be considered • Objectives must not stretch you to the point of frustration or loss of motivation
SMART Goals R • Questions to Consider… • Do you have the resources available to achieve this objective? • Do I need to revisit priorities to make this happen? • Is it possible to achieve this objective? • Is your goal challenging but within reason? • Relevant goals represent an objective toward which you are able & willing to work • Achievement of objectives require resources (e.g. skills, money, equipment) to achieve desired outcomes • Most objectives are achievable but may require a shift in priorities to make them happen
SMART Goals T • Questions to Consider… • What information needs to be collected to measure progress? • When will this objective be accomplished? • Is the goal time bound? Is there a stated deadline? • When are the significant milestones due? • The goal should outline consistency, frequency, fairness and timing • Deadlines should be both achievable & realistic • Setting deadlines creates sense of urgency and keeps you motivate to take prompt action
