Include, for example, your professional career and retirement plans.

Are visionary but realistic
Setting Goals...based on time frames
e.g. operative goals that are specific for a department of a large corporation (yearly and/or quarterly goals)
You need to differentiate
Long – Term Goals
Medium – Term Goals
Short – Term Goals
Setting Goals...based on time frames
Are related to short-term and reasonable time periods. For the management of a company for example it is often common practice to use the fiscal year. However, it could also be extremely short – term goals and/or seasonal goals such as the successful completion of the e-training course.
You need to differentiate
Long – Term Goals
Medium – Term Goals
Short – Term Goals
Setting Goals...based on time frames
Please write down at least one goal for each time frame (short-/medium-/longterm)on work sheet 1.1? You might choose goals related to your e-training course and/or working life.
Let us have a look at the SMART-formula
Setting Goals – The SMART-Formula
Setting Goals – The SMART-Formula
In project management you usually have the ultimate project goal as well as intermediate goals (milestones)
Respectively there are major goals and minor goals, as well as intermediate goals in your professional career
Often we do not reach our goals because they were not clearly defined, we expect too much, or we do not define intermediate goals.
Setting Goals – The SMART-Formula
Management sometimes sets very vague goals such as: „we have to improve customer satisfaction, increase profitability, and improve productivity and efficiency.“
With the implementation of „SMART“, goals turn into clear messages that can be measured, reviewed, and monitored which we will see in the next example...
Setting Goals – The SMART-Formula
Ultimate- and intermediate goals have to be S.M.A.R.T.:
Specific: Goals must be communicated in a clear wayMeasurable: Goals must be measurableAttainable: The input must be proportional to the
output/result .Realistic: Goals must be obtainableTime Bound: Every goals must be set to a specific date
Setting Goals – The SMART-Formula
For example, you set the followig goal: „ The goal is to increase the revenues of product X/Y by 10 percent by June 30, 2012.“
This goal is specific, it is also measurable!
The goal also has to be realistic, therefore, the 10 percent should be obtainable by the employee. As the management communicates the 30th of June as a due date for the goal, it is also time bound.
Setting Goals – The SMART-Formula
As a reminder: Specific Measurable Attainable Realistic Time Bound
Please formulate your professional career goals as SMART and write them down on the work sheet 1.2!
