What's Wrong with Targets?
with Mary Adams CMC, Trek Consulting (www.trekconsulting.com)
Target Audience: All Management Consultants
Do you help your clients develop goals and targets? Then please join us in this discussion of the best way to do that.
This roundtable was inspired by a recent article by Ian Graham, “What’s Wrong with Targets,” published in the Perspectives on Performance newsletter.
This article maintains that targets focus on the ends not the means, encourage mediocrity, and reinforce command and control. The alternative posited is to focus on working on the systems and processes that create value—then use measures to understand and improve performance of the systems.
This article turned my thinking on its head. I invite you to join me in a discussion of these powerful ideas and if/how we can all apply them in our clients’ organizations.
Mary Adams is the current President of IMCNE and a co-founder of Trek Consulting. She works as a trusted advisor to corporate leaders seeking to grow and adapt their businesses. One of her primary areas of interest is the field of intellectual capital—how tangible results are derived from the intangible means of production in the knowledge economy.
Walk-ins are welcome and you may purchase breakfast at the restaurant. |
