So you’ve attended that productivity course and now have a new shiny folder for your shelf. You’ve decided to put what you’ve learned into practice. Good for you! You’ve created just a few goals that are specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, with a clear timeline…. You’re on a roll! So why are you not soaring to the dizzying heights of success? SMART goals are terrific. But there is a catch. Are you trying to achieve things that matter? Too often people choose to measure things that are easy to measure. That makes smart, yet trivial goals easy to focus on. It is a great idea to use these processes, however you need first to think big, and prioritize. The processes of Portfolio management along with business strategy for running your business are too important to leave to later. Linking strategy to process to delivery is a skill that comes from experience. Before you set those great SMART goals to order new staplers within 14 days, consider whether you might benefit from an experienced set of eyes looking at your business and whether you might get greater success more easily another way.
