Review outcome goal(s)
What does it mean to review outcome goals?
Reviewing outcome goals means checking progress toward a desired result and deciding whether the target still makes sense.
How it works
A person might review a savings target after their income changes. They can keep the target, adjust it, replace it, or add another. The review concerns the result, such as the balance they want to reach, rather than how often they transfer money.
A business can similarly review a revenue goal against actual sales and changed conditions. The question is whether to keep or revise the result being sought; the review alone cannot establish that a new number is achievable.
Why it matters
A goal chosen six months ago may no longer fit today's circumstances. Reviewing it creates a chance to make that decision deliberately.
The BCT Taxonomy defines this as technique 1.7.
