Objective Setting

The value we provide

Management by Objectives (MBO) is a process of agreeing upon objectives within an organisation so that management and employees agree to the objectives and understand what they are.

In this proces the SMART criteria are used: Objectives must be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-Specific)

Objectives drive performance, motivation and levels of satisfaction. We refer to objectives on so many different occasions that it's important to begin any work on objectives by defining exactly what we mean by the term to ensure that everyone has a common understanding. It is also essential to think about what are the reasons why objectives exist and what can go wrong with the objective-setting process.

What we do

The process of setting up objectives may be divided in three phases: analysis, design/development, roll-out. It is important to distinguish between objectives and aims, goals and/or targets. Green-Jakobsen can guide you through this process and provide helpful tools and input.

Objectives need quantifying and monitoring. Reliable management information systems are needed to establish relevant objectives and monitor their "reach ratio" in an objective way. Green-Jakobsen can help you set up the appropriate systems and focus on the strengths and weaknesses identified underway.

                                            

"What gets measured gets done"

The way we do it

An objective setting workshop will help:  

  • Improve utilization of Management
    By Objectives and through this
    the value of the different apraisal
    processes
  • Increase consistency in the defined
    objectives
  • Develop a shared understanding of
    best practise in setting and managing
    objectives
  • Determine why, what and how to develop
    the safety culture
  • Identify specific activities where the
    generated ideas can be embedded
    in behaviour and actions - the principles
    behind
  • Gather employee input for the preparation
    of the company's/ department's/ group's
    Action Plan for the year to come.
