BUSINESS GOALSBUSINESS GOALS• A goal is a statement that clearly

describes actions to be taken or tasks to be accomplished by a company, a department or an individual. A business will have a number of goals, each describing a desired future condition toward which efforts are directed. If the goals are accomplished, then the business should be a success

GOAL SETTING FOR GOAL SETTING FOR BUSINESSBUSINESS

Goal setting is the absolute first step in achieving business success.  Before you set out on your business journey you should decide where you are going.  From one perspective the only way you can achieve business success is to set your business goals first.  Because your business goals will help you set your business direction and they will let you know when you have arrived. 

Page 6: parakhiya vasant

Goal Setting is crucial to business success. 

The approach to business goal setting varies between a large business and an owner operated business.

Page 7: parakhiya vasant

• For owner operated businesses the real starting point with business goal setting is personal goal setting. Your business goals need to be supportive of your personal goals because if your business and personal goals are not compatible not only will you have trouble achieving your goals but the incongruence will consume enormous energy and create discomfort. 

  • You are likely to find that your business is one

of your key vehicles for achieving your personal goals.  So, before you can shape the goals for your business you need to understand your personal goals and understand what the business needs to do to help you achieve your personal goals.  That way, you can maximise your returns from the business – both in financial terms and in non financial terms.

Page 8: parakhiya vasant

• Every large corporation has clearly set and articulated goals to drive the company forward. Yet, in the world of small business, many businesses lack a focused goal. “Get more business” is a typical reply of small business owners when asked of future plans.

• Whether you have a 50- employee or an empire of one, your business success depends on your ability to set and achieve goals. Put your business on the fast- track by applying the principles of SMART Business goal setting.

Page 9: parakhiya vasant

• Once your goals are SMART, break down each goal into a specific set of tasks and activities to accomplish your goals.

• It is important to periodically review your goals and make adjustments if necessary.

• Goal setting for your business is an essential tool for success.

• Remember in the end to be S.M.A.R.T

• S = SPECIFIC• M = MEASUREABLE• A = ATTAINABLE• R = REALISTIC• T = TIME BASED

A Note on HRD Audit

T. V. Rao

Page 13: parakhiya vasant

• HRD audit is a comprehensive evaluation of the current human resource development strategies, structure, systems, styles and skills in the context of the short and long-term business plans of a company. HRD audit attempts to find out the future HRD needs of the company after assessing the current HRD activities and inputs available.

Why HRD Audit?Why HRD Audit?

Page 14: parakhiya vasant

• HRD audit starts with an understanding of the future business plans and corporate strategies. While HRD audit can be done even in organizations that lack well formulated future plans and strategies, it is most effective as a tool when the organization already has such long-term plans. The HRD audit starts with attempts to answer the following questions:

Page 15: parakhiya vasant

• Where does the company want to be ten years from now, three years from now and one year from now? (Answers to this question ensures business linkages part of the HRD score card)

Question 1Question 1

Page 16: parakhiya vasant

• Answer to this question needs to be provided by the top-level management. If there are long-term plan documents these are reviewed. On the basis of the answers to these questions the consultants finalize the subsequent audit strategies and methodology. The consultants make an attempt to identify the nature of core competencies the organization needs to develop in order to achieve its long-term, five to ten year plans. The consultants also attempt to identify skills required to be developed by the company at various levels

Page 17: parakhiya vasant

• (example - workmen level, supervisors level, junior management level, middle management level, top management level, etc.) and with respect to various functions (finance, production, marketing, etc.). Listing all these core competencies and skills for the future is the starting point of HRD audit. The HRD audit normally attempts to assess the existing skills and the competency gaps in order to achieve the long-term business goals and short-term results of the company. The competencies may deal with technical aspects, managerial aspects, people related or conceptual. They may cover knowledge base, attitudes, values and skills.
