Goal-setting frameworks are structured methods that help individuals and organizations define, plan, and achieve their objectives. These frameworks provide clear guidelines for setting specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound SMART goals, ensuring that targets are realistic and attainable. By using these frameworks, people can maintain focus and motivation throughout the goal-setting process. Common goal-setting frameworks include OKRs (Objectives and Key Results) and SMART goals. OKRs help teams align their efforts by defining overarching objectives and measurable key results, while SMART goals emphasize clarity and feasibility. Both frameworks encourage accountability and progress tracking, making it easier to evaluate success and adjust strategies as needed.
