• Soft skills and recruiting: The secret to successful hires
• What the bottomline results are for soft skills
• How to teach, measure, and mentor soft skills

Discover how to write SMART goals and learn one of the most effective goal setting methods known. If you've ever wondered, 'what are smart goals?', this SlideShare presentation is for you.
Samples of SMART goals will help you learn how to set your own SMART goals. Take a look at this short SlideShare presentation demonstrating several SMART goal examples from various areas of life.
The document discusses setting SMART goals and objectives for planning purposes. It defines planning as establishing goals and objectives before taking action. Goals should be specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-based. Examples of general goals are provided, as well as how to write SMART goals by answering who, what, where, when, which, and why. Strategies and tactics to meet goals are establishing specific actions. The purpose of setting goals is to decide actions needed to achieve desired results.
This document discusses the importance and benefits of goal setting for employees and organizations. It states that without goals, employees can lack direction and their performance may not contribute to organizational objectives. Personal performance goals can motivate employees, reward achievement, and align individual actions with company plans. Goals also allow managers to monitor employees and give employees control over their work. The document promotes using a goal setting presentation to teach managers how to help employees set goals that increase productivity and growth.
Accountability vs. Responsibility in Project ManagementWorkfront
Within the project management domain one has to have clear appreciation of the distinction between accountability and responsibility, according to Shim Marom, author of quantmleap.com. The fundamental point is the question of “when and where does the buck stop?”
Is it the project manager who is by default the one who needs to pay the ultimate price for the failure or is this issue a bit more complicated than that?
Is there a point at which things might happen under your watch for which you could not and would not take the responsibility?
This document discusses SMART goals and how they can help define and refine one's career journey. SMART is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and Time-based. The document provides examples for each letter of the acronym to illustrate the components of an effective SMART goal, such as wanting to work for a consulting firm with offices in over 50 countries or enrolling in a certificate program within the next three months. Setting SMART goals can help those starting, growing, or pivoting their career bring their vision to life by clearly articulating personal or professional objectives.
What are SMART Objectives tells you all about SMART objectives; how to create SMART objectives, how to use SMART objectives and how to use SMART objectives to achieve results.

It also suggests having each business owner and staff member commit 20 minutes per day to marketing activities. Some low or no-cost offline and online marketing tools are listed, such as networking, writing articles, using social media and industry websites. The document advocates starting just one marketing project at a time and working through it completely before beginning another.

OKRs: How Google Achieves Company Goals Weekdone.com
John Doerr, one of the advocates for Objectives and Key Results, has said:“I remember being intrigued with the idea of having a beacon or north star every quarter, which helped set my priorities. It was also incredibly powerful for me to see Andy’s OKRs, my manager’s OKRs and the OKRs for my peers. I was quickly able to tie my work directly to the company’s goals. I kept my OKRs pinned up in my office and I wrote new OKRs every quarter, and the system has stayed with me ever since.“
OKRs is a easy process of setting company, team and personal goals and connecting each goal with 3-4 measurable results. As you achieve those results, the whole objective gets marked done.
OKRs, on a personal, team's and company level make up a system that shows how everything one person does connects to the work of others.

Corporate innovation with Startups made simple with Pitchworks VC StudioGokul Rangarajan
In this write up we will talk about why corporates need to innovate, why most of them of failing and need to startups and corporate start collaborating with each other for survival
At the end of the conversation the CIO asked us 3 questions which sparked us to write this blog.
1 Do my organisation need innovation ?
2 Even if I need Innovation why are so many other corporates of our size fail in innovation ?
3 How can I test it in most cost effective way ?
First let's address the Elephant in the room, is Innovation optional ?
Relevance for customers
Building Business Reslience
competitive advantage
Corporate innovation is essential for businesses striving to remain relevant and competitive in today's rapidly evolving market. By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive. According to a McKinsey report, organizations that prioritize innovation are 30% more likely to be high-growth companies. Innovation not only helps in developing new revenue streams but also in creating more efficient processes and resilient supply chains. This agility allows companies to quickly pivot in response to market changes, ensuring they can weather economic downturns, technological disruptions, and other unforeseen challenges. Therefore, corporate innovation is not just a strategy for growth but a vital component of building a robust and resilient business capable of sustaining long-term success.
2. SMART GOALS
3%Only 3% of adults have clear, written, specific, measurable,
time-bounded goals, and by every statistic, they accomplish ten
times as much as people with no goals at all.
3. S
SPECIFIC
“Specific goals focus people’s attention; Lacking a specific goal,
employee attention may be dispersed across too many possible
objectives”
„I will increase the company's revenue by making 10
more sales a week“
4. M
MEASURABLE
“Goals should be measurable so that you have tangible evidence
that you have accomplished the goal.”
„I will increase the company's revenue 20% by making 10
more sales a week“
5. A
ACHIEVABLE
A goal is achievable if it's something that you know you can do.
„I will increase the company's revenue 20% by making 10
more sales a week. Last quarter the increase was 15%,
so it shouldn't be too hard“
6. R
REALISTIC
“If I could reach the amazing goal of churning out 1,000 pizzas a
day, it would not be relevant if I run a dry cleaning business.”
„I will increase the company's revenue 20% by making 10
more sales a week. I will sell the software we are making.
Last quarter the increase was 15%, so it shouldn't be too
hard“
7. T
TIME-BASED
“Without deadlines, it's easy to put goals off and leave them to die.
As well as a deadline, it's a good idea to set some short-term
milestones along the way to help you measure progress.”
„I will increase the company's revenue 20% this quarter
by making 10 more sales a week. I will sell the software
we are making. Last quarter the increase was 15%, so it
shouldn't be too hard”
8. SMART
"Many people fail in life, not for lack of
ability or brains or even courage, but simply
because they have never organised their
energies around a goal."
- Elbert Hubbard
