Action Plan Template 2013
Transcript: Anything additional you'd like to add? Action Plan Template SMART GOALS ARE... SPECIFIC — A specific goal has a much greater chance of being accomplished than a general goal. To set a specific goal, you must answer the six "W" questions: Who? Who is involved What? What do I want to accomplish Where? Identify a location When? Establish a time frame Which? Identify requirements and constraints Why? Specific reasons, purpose of benefits of accomplishing the goal MEASURABLE— Establish concrete criteria for measuring progress toward the attainment of each goal you set. When you measure your progress, you stay on track, reach your target dates, and experience the exhilaration of achievement that spurs you on to continued effort required to reach your goal. To determine if your goal is measurable, ask questions such as: How much? How many? How will I know when it is accomplished? ATTAINABLE — When you identify goals that are most important to you, you begin to figure out ways you can make them come true.
