How well are we doing now?
• Qualitative assessment -- What is the strategy?– Company– Scope– Recent accomplishments– Alignment with functional
strategies, goals and objectives

Goals/Objectives
… without the last minute nothing would ever get done
Setting Goals/Objectives• Converts strategic mission/vision, and situational
assessment into specific performance targets
• Creates yardsticks to track and measure performance
• Pushes company to focus on results
• Helps prevent complacency and coasting
![Page 12: 1 Strategy to Tactics: Setting Quantifiable Objectives And Performance Assessment May 11, 2007 Harland E. Hodges, PhD](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649d535503460f94a2eea4/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Goals/Objectives
Objective-setting process is mostly top-down, not bottom-up!
1. First, establish organization-wide objectives and performance targets
2. Next, set business objectives
3. Then, establish functionaland departmental objectives
4. Individual objectives are established last

Goals/Objectives
Characteristics of Goals/Objectives
– Represent commitment to achieve specific performance targets
– Well-stated objectives are
• Quantifiable
• Measurable

Short range objectives lay the foundation for long range objectives
• Short-Range objectives– Targets to be achieved soon– Serve as stair steps for reaching long-range
performance• Long-Range objectives
– Targets to be achieved within3 to 5 years
– Prompt actions now that willpermit reaching targetedlong-range performance later
Short or Long Range
![Page 15: 1 Strategy to Tactics: Setting Quantifiable Objectives And Performance Assessment May 11, 2007 Harland E. Hodges, PhD](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649d535503460f94a2eea4/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Planning vs. Executing
![Page 16: 1 Strategy to Tactics: Setting Quantifiable Objectives And Performance Assessment May 11, 2007 Harland E. Hodges, PhD](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649d535503460f94a2eea4/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16
Executing strategic initiatives takes adept leadership to
– Convincingly communicatereasons for the new strategy
– Overcome pockets of doubt and resistance to change
– Build consensus and enthusiasm
– Resolve priority conflicts
– Launch and manage a variety of strategic initiatives at the same time
– Secure commitment of concerned parties
– Get all implementation pieces in place and coordinated
– Integrate many different departments to smoothly function as a whole
Executing
![Page 17: 1 Strategy to Tactics: Setting Quantifiable Objectives And Performance Assessment May 11, 2007 Harland E. Hodges, PhD](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649d535503460f94a2eea4/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

• Implementing and executing strategy involves a company’s whole management team and all of its employees
– Just as every part of a watch plays a role in making the watch function properly, it takes all pieces of an organization working cohesively for a strategy to be well-executed
• Top-level managers must lead the process and orchestrate major initiatives
– But they must rely on the cooperation of middle and lower-level managers to see that things go well in the various parts of the organization and on employees to perform their roles competently on a daily basis
A Team Effort
![Page 18: 1 Strategy to Tactics: Setting Quantifiable Objectives And Performance Assessment May 11, 2007 Harland E. Hodges, PhD](https://reader035.vdocuments.site/reader035/viewer/2022062518/56649d535503460f94a2eea4/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

How are we going to get there?
