ORGANIZATIONAL GOAL SETTING AND SMART ANALYSIS
Goals setting is irrefutably a crucial step in the road to achievement, especially when launching a new product or service in the market. Goals provide guidance and direction, facilitate planning, helps control and evaluate performance, and motivates employees. As such, the goals should work towards a successful launch of a product or service and also ensure the team making it happen are motivated and are committed to completing the tasks (Cothran, Wysocki, Farnsworth, & Clark, 2019). XYZ Company will be launching a mentorship program that will see the launch of a mobile application that connects some of the knowledgeable and successful mentors to aspiring entrepreneurs in diverse fields and specialties. The point of view is to help entrepreneurs get answers and make important decisions about their businesses. It will be done through sign-ups, where an entrepreneur later chooses the area of mentoring, then a mentor can choose the time they can have a session. The goal is to attract 30 mentors and 50 entrepreneurs in different fields and specialties in the next one year.
