Bodhih’s workshop on Objective setting for managers is a result orientation commitment to achieve goals. Objective setting in [performance management](https://bodhih.com/performance-management-training/) is about understanding what works well in the work environment, and how to replicate the mindsets that are required to succeed in the marketplace. An objective is a specific step, a milestone, which enables you to accomplish a goal. Setting objectives involves a continuous process of research and decision-making. Knowledge of yourself and your unit is a vital starting point in setting objectives. ## Why is Objective setting important? The importance of objective setting is realised when participants consider and discuss the organizational rationale for and the commitment to set stretch objectives. The group identifies the differences between well and poorly crafted objectives and practice writing objectives for oneself and others and also understand the basis of moderating objectives in order to achieve better consistency. ## What are the learning outcomes from Bodhih’s Objective setting workshop? Amongst other key focus areas, the participants discuss why even the best laid plans can go wrong (look at conflicting objectives / objective overload / passive resistance to objective setting), Intelligently organize people and effectively prioritize work, Learn to create resilient action plans, Gain more confidence to select goals and targets, Harness best possible outcome from self and others, Avoid all perils and costs of being directionless and gain happiness because they know that success means the “realization of one’s goal” ## Bodhih’s program on Objective Setting begins by sensitizing participants to the strategic planning intrinsic to the concept of result orientation. With the help of a facilitator led presentation and class discussion, learners unravel what the ten key steps go into strategic planning. Workshop delegates through workbook activity relate to their individual work scenarios and translate that into – creating a mission statement, writing a vision statement, defining company’s or team’s value, performing a SWOT analysis, documenting competitive advantage, brainstorming long term strategic objectives, documenting strategy and plan B, setting short term goals, planning execution and finally, setting measurement systems to check on speed and progress. The key components of Objective Setting workshop are explained within the module – benchmarking best practices, performance measurements, and using performance-based results to budget the future. Through individual activity, group discussion, videos, and facilitator led presentation, participants are coached on the multiple benchmarking best practices (internal, competitive, functional, generic, price point etc.), setting up mechanisms to audit performances for [decision making](https://bodhih.com/problem-solving-and-decision-making/), accountability, and productivity. Class participants’ role-play multiple scenarios to understand the nuances of the barriers and threats for objective setting planning and implementation processes. Along with Bodhih’s facilitator the group brainstorms to find out how they can combat these in the real time with success.

Participants bring their team's real priorities for the next quarter. On day one they link objectives to strategy, write stretch objectives with measures, untangle conflicting and overloaded objectives, and benchmark performance against internal and external comparisons. On day two they build a results scorecard, practise flagging deviations early, handle quiet resistance and hold team members accountable. The capstone is an objective review board, and each manager leaves with a 90-day review cycle. 76% hands-on practice · 13.5 contact hours · Cohort: 12–20 participants · In person · Live virtual ### Day 1: Objectives that matter Participants can link objectives to strategy, write stretch objectives with measures, fix conflicts and set benchmark-based targets. 1. 09:30–10:00 · Missed and exceeded (Energiser) 2. 10:00–11:00 · Strategy to objectives (Build sprint) 3. 11:15–12:15 · Stretch, not snap (Skill drill) 4. 12:15–13:00 · When plans go wrong (Case clinic) 5. 13:45–14:45 · Benchmark hunt (Group challenge) 6. 14:45–15:30 · Benchmark my own targets (Hands-on lab) 7. 15:45–16:45 · Objectives for the team, with the team (Role-play) 8. 16:45–17:30 · Personal mastery check (Reflection) ### Day 2: Keeping results on track Participants can track results on a scorecard, flag deviations early, handle resistance and hold accountability conversations. 1. 09:30–10:00 · Leading or lagging?
