0 COMPANY <br /> A STRATEGIC LEADERSHIP AND GOAL-SETTING PROCESS <br /> There are a number of approaches to conducting goal-setting sessions for an <br /> organization. A particular approach, that has proven to be very popular, is designed to <br /> address the following key areas: <br /> 1. Definition of a STRATEGIC VISION for the organization which serves as <br /> the basis for goal-setting and performance planning to be used by the <br /> board and management. <br /> 2. Identification of major "CONSENSUS POINTS: held by a majority of the <br /> "Goal Setters" relative to their vision for the future of the organization. <br /> 3. Identification of critical issues and strategic performance factors which are <br /> the "DESTINY SHAPERS" of the organization. These critical issues and <br /> strategic performance factors generally represent areas that must be <br /> addressed or managed by the board and the organization's executive team <br /> if the organization is to attain its vision for the future. <br /> 4. Defining specific OUTCOMES that are to be achieved relative to each of <br /> the critical issues and strategic performance factors. Once these specific <br /> outcomes have been defined, a careful identification needs to be made of <br /> all forces and factors working "for" and "against" attainment of these critical <br /> outcomes. <br /> 5. Establishing specific PERFORMANCE GOALS that will lead to the <br /> attainment of the desired outcome and define general policies, leadership <br /> directions, and performance priorities for the organization. <br /> 6. Establishing REVENUE AND RESOURCE ALLOCATION POLICIES to <br /> ensure the continuous availability of the necessary resources to achieve <br /> specific performance goals. <br /> 7. Assigning, if appropriate, SPECIFIC RESPONSIBILITIES that must exist <br /> within the organization if each of the goals is to be achieved. <br /> 8. Establishing for each goal a set of annualized performance objectives and <br /> supporting MANAGEMENT ACTION PLANS (MAPs) designed to ensure <br /> achievement of community-wide goals in a systematic manner that guides <br /> operating programs and priorities for the entire organization. <br /> 9.
