	An objective is a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) action or a set of actions that help an organization achieve its broader goals. Objectives are the tangible, concrete steps that break down a goal into manageable pieces. ~~They~~ are the "how" you get to the "what."		An objective is a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) action or a set of actions that help an organization achieve its broader goals. Objectives are the tangible, concrete steps that break down a goal into manageable pieces. In technical terms, they are the "how" you get to the "what," often with the affective and emotional components of how people behave being put aside.

	Example: For the goal "Improve employee engagement across the company," an objective might be: "Implement a new employee feedback system by the end of the third quarter to increase the company's internal satisfaction score by 20%."

While people often use "goals," "objectives," or even "targets" interchangeably, especially in casual conversation, there are distinct differences in their semantics within the context of Organizational Development (OD). The concepts work together in a hierarchical way and serve different purposes.

==Goals==
A goal is a broad, long-term, and overarching statement that describes an organization's desired future state or outcome. Goals provide direction and purpose, aligning the entire organization toward a shared vision. They are often qualitative and can be less specific than objectives. On a roadmap, a goal is the destination.

Example: "Improve employee engagement across the company." or "Become the market leader in your industry."

==Objectives==
An objective is a specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART) action or a set of actions that help an organization achieve its broader goals. Objectives are the tangible, concrete steps that break down a goal into manageable pieces. They are the "how" you get to the "what."

Example: For the goal "Improve employee engagement across the company," an objective might be: "Implement a new employee feedback system by the end of the third quarter to increase the company's internal satisfaction score by 20%."

==Targets==
A target is the quantitative benchmark or numerical value within an objective that you aim to hit. It's the "how much" or "how many" part of the objective. Targets make an objective truly measurable.

Example: For the objective "Increase our market share in the Western region by the end of Q4," a target would be: "Increase market share by 5%."
