Most organisations believe that they have a set of goals guiding their activity. However, looking more closely at these 'goals' it is clear that some are unclear aspirations rather than goals. There are a number of important differences between aspirations and goals, and it is due to these differences that the two are related but not interchangeable.
As this module will describe, aspirations are the first step in setting motivational and transformational goals. There are 10 steps to be taken to transform an organisational or personal aspiration into a set of clear goals which can be actioned. This module will guide the students through this process and allow them to transform aspirations into specific, measurable, and attainable goals that can be applied in an organisational context or in the personal sphere
