Como redactar OBJETIVOS correctamente FÁCIL y RAPIDO
How to Formulate Objectives Correctly
Understanding Objectives
- Objectives are defined as the ends that one aims to achieve through specific actions. They guide the direction of efforts in various contexts, such as written work, business proposals, or academic theses.
Structure for Writing Objectives
- To formulate objectives correctly, follow a structured approach:
- Start with an infinitive verb (e.g., "to reach," "to know," "to discover").
- Identify the object on which the verb acts.
- Include an indicator that specifies levels of achievement—this can be quantitative (e.g., selling 100,000 units) or qualitative (e.g., improving workplace climate).
Components of an Objective
- An objective typically includes:
- Verb: The action to be taken.
- Object: The focus of the action.
- Indicator: Defines success criteria (quantitative or qualitative).
- Condition: Specifies how the objective will be achieved.
- Timeframe: Indicates when the objective should be accomplished. Note that in academic settings, this timeframe may sometimes be omitted if agreed upon by instructors.
Examples of Well-Written Objectives
- Example of a quantitative objective:
- "To reach $3,000 in revenue by developing quality technical processes within two years."
- Breakdown:
- Verb: "reach"
- Object: "$3,000"
- Indicator: Achievement is measured against this amount.
- Condition: Achieved through quality technical processes.
- Timeframe: Within two years.
- Example of a qualitative objective:
- "To implement quality management systems across all processes according to ISO standards within one year."
- Breakdown:
- Verb: "implement"
- Object: "quality management systems"
- Indicator: Must apply to all processes.
- Condition: Compliance with ISO standards.
- Timeframe: Within one year.
Changing Order for Clarity
- When formulating objectives, it’s possible to rearrange components for clarity without losing meaning. For instance:
- Objective example with changed order:
- “To establish two new businesses with classified clients within six months.”
- Here, “two” serves as the indicator and “new businesses” is the object.
