SMART FormulaSMART Formula
Peter Drucker is reputed to have said that "Objectives are not fate; they are direction. They are not commands; they are
commitments. They do not determine the future; they are
means to mobilize the resources and energies of the business for the making of the future".
Goals
If not how can you improve - prepare more,
improve your resource base, communicate more effectively, or understand more clearly what your customers want and how you intend to deliver their requirements?
So have you set the right objectives?

SMART Formula
Specific Measurable Agreed upon Realistic Time-bound
Co-op Objectives
S = Specific. Be detailed. Write down what you
really want to do.
Specific. The goal must tell exactly what will be accomplished. For example:
By October 1, I will develop a procedure checklist for performing maintenance on the company vehicle.
Specific
By October 1, 2012, I will inventory my tools
and make a list of additional tools needed and a list of needed repairs on my tools.
By October 1, 2012, I will have created and tested a new recipe for the lunch menu.
Specific
M = Measurable. This can be in stages but you
need to know when you've arrived – an end point.
Measurable. A measurable criteria helps you determine if the goal has been completed. This can be stated as a number (5 ideas, 10% gain, one decision) or as an achievement (Did I write a document or not?).
Measurable
A = Agreed Upon. To be successful at work
you must be accomplishing what your supervisor wants you to accomplish.
Achievable. Goals must be agreed upon in order for the resources and time to be made available.
Agreed Upon
R = Realistic. Can this be achieved with
available resources including time, materials, money, expertise?
Realistic
T = Time. Don’t be vague. Set a deadline –
some specific date between now and the end of the semester.
Time-bound
Setting SMART goals helps you know
where you’re going where to focus your energy when you’ve completed the task
