Discover These Game-Changing Frameworks
Are you tired of the same old SMART goals framework?
While Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound objectives have their place, it’s also smart to explore alternatives that might better suit your needs. There may just be a smarter way. Read on to discover more.
Here are three powerful alternatives to assist you in the way you achieve your ambitions.
- OKR’s Objectives and Results
This framework, popularized by tech giants like Google, focuses on setting ambitious objectives and defining measurable key results.
OKRs encourage you to think big while providing a clear path to track progress. They’re perfect for organizations looking to align teams and drive innovation.
- The WOOP (Wish, Outcome, Obstacle, Plan) method
This scientifically-backed approach adds a crucial element often overlooked in traditional goal setting: anticipating obstacles.
By identifying potential challenges upfront, you’re better prepared to overcome them, increasing your chances of success.
- BHAG’s (Big Hairy Audacious Goals).
Back at recruitment company, we were always keen to add a powerful BHAG to our corporate planning and since then I have adopted this approach personally too. I find that this framework pushes you to set long-term, ambitious goals that inspire and motivate.
I would like to think BHAGs are perfect for those who want to transform their organizations or make a significant impact.

By exploring these frameworks, you may find an approach that aligns with your ambitions and work style, potentially unlocking new levels of achievement and satisfaction
