1 DEFINING GOALS How do we accomplish this? CUSTOMER FIRST THINKING WE MUST UNDERSTAND: Who is the customer? What is my customer s demand? How will I meet this demand? All rights reserved 30
WHO IS THE CUSTOMER? Any person, group, process, or system that requires information or material from you should be considered the customer DEFINING GOALS All rights reserved 31
WHAT IS MY CUSTOMER S DEMAND? Demand is: What the customer wants When they want it In the quantity they want it At the price they want to pay for it Qualify Demand: Customer Demand GOALS DEFINING GOALS All rights reserved 32
TRANSLATE DEMAND TO GOALS The PERFORMANCE MATRIX aligns goals with demand Goals meet demand of higher process KEY POINT: Goals drive targets of lower process DEFINING GOALS Goal alignment moves an organization forward together! All rights reserved 33

WHAT MAKES A GOOD TARGET? Use the ACORN TEST to ensure achievable targets A. Is the target an Accomplishment or a behavior? Create 10 more reports per hour VS. Work longer hours C. Do those working on the target have Control over it? Can a machine operator improve sales directly? O. Does the target contribute to the overall Objective(s)? Does it align with higher goals or is it stand alone? R. Can the target be Reconciled with outside goals? Does meeting this target negatively impact something else? N.

WHAT MAKES A GOOD STANDARD? Use the RUMBA TEST to ensure sustainable standards R. Reasonable: Is the standard based on a realistic assessment? Does is relate directly to the customer s needs? U. Understandable: Is the standard clearly defined so there can be no disagreement over interpretation? M. Measurable: Can we objectively measure performance against the standard? B. Believable: Can people buy into the standard? Is it something team members can strive to meet? A. Attainable: Is the standard something that can be reached? STANDARDIZATION All rights reserved 52
