DAY 2 Session 3 How Goals can be achieved through Objectives
Outcomes for participants • Learning Outcomes • At the end of this session participants should be able to: • Understand the role of objectives in achieving goals. • Write objectives for the goals of their development proposal that are specific, measurable, achievable and timed.
How goals can be achieved via objectives • Objectives are specific tasks that must be accomplished in total, or in some combination, to achieve the goals in the plan/proposal. The strategies (or methods to reach the goals) are chosen with a view to their affordability, practicality and efficiency. • In order to be effective, objectives should be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and timed.
Example • Goal: To improve membership satisfaction with the association’s services in the next year. • Objective: By the end of the year, to conduct a member satisfaction survey of services offered by the association and to determine interest in potential new services. • Note that the objective above meets the requirement of being specific, measurable, realistic and time-bound.
Improved educational opportunities for members and affiliates • The goals we formulated to result in this outcome were: • To survey members and affiliates to establish which training/professional development is needed most. • To design a series of training/professional development programmes based on the results of the survey using relevant BSLA materials. • To source trainers with appropriate skills and expertise to deliver the programme. • To advertise the programme and enrol members and/or affiliates. • To evaluate the programme and its potential benefits.
Example: goals and objectives for a professional education programme using BSLA materials
Small Group Activity using the performance measurement template as a guide • From the list of goals for the development of a professional education programme based on the use of BSLA materials, three goals have not yet been addressed. These are to: • Source trainers with appropriate skills and expertise to deliver the programme. • Advertise the programme and enrol members and/or affiliates. • Evaluate the programme and its potential benefits. • Work in pairs to draft an objective (or two) for at least one of these remaining three goals using the performance measurement template as a guide.
Small Regional Group Activity • Review the SWOT template you completed earlier in your small regional groups to identify priorities for your region and analyse ways in which you could collaborate more to achieve these priorities. • Write a goal and a supporting objective (or two) for this outcome.
Association team work on development proposal • Work in your association or regional teams to write objectives for the intended goal(s) of your own proposal
