Setting Goals

Organizational Goal setting is a critical exercise in ensuring achievement of desired and planned results. The IbharCPM Goal setting process ensures that Goals are meaningfully aligned to Strategic objectives. It is important that Organizational Goals are not confused with departmental and individual goals.

IbharCPM ensures that Organizational and Departmental/Individual goals are categorized, planned and managed differently.

IbharCPM has a unique way of ensuring that the Goals defined are made measurable and then used for Operational and Business reviews through the year by different stakeholders.

Traditionally the function of business planning is anchored by the CFO and ends up with a financial budget for the financial year. While Strategy would have provided inputs in this process, business planning has textual references to approaches for achieving results. HR drives the setting of Key Result Areas (KRAs) or in evolving scorecards with the objective of appraising the employee at the end of the financial year. IbharCPM methodology seamlessly connects Business, Strategy, HR and IT activities together in defining and setting goals that are measurable and reviewable.
