Pitfalls and Trends

• Targets should enable you to answer the question “did we meet our objectives?”

• Targets and even objectives should be quantifiable “wherever practicable”.

• Targets and objectives should be achievable.

• Simple versus Complex – it really doesn’t matter

• The more quantifiable the better
