ysabetwordsmithThis year during Three Weeks for Dreamwidth, I'm writing about goal-setting frameworks for ![[community profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/community.png)
goals_on_dw. Read Part 1: Introduction to Goal-Setting Frameworks, Part 2: The 1-3-5 Rule, Part 3: The 12-week Year, Part 4: ABCS (Achievable, Believable, Committed, Specific), Part 5: Backward Goal, Part 6: BHAG (Big Hairy Audacious Goals), Part 7: BSQ (Think Big, Act Small, Move Quick), Part 8: CLEAR (Collaborative, Limited, Emotional, Appreciable, Refinable), Part 9: Goal Pyramid, Part 10: Golden Circle, Part 11: GROW (Goal, Reality, Options, Way Forward), Part 12: HARD (Heartfelt, Animated, Required, Difficult), Part 13: KPI (Key Performance Indicators, Part 14: MASTER (Measurable, Achievable, Specific, Transforming, Evolving, Relevant), Part 15: NCT (Narratives, Commitments, and Tasks), Part 16: OKR (Objectives, Key Results), Part 17: PACT (Purposeful, Aligned, Continuous, Tracked).
Part 17: PACT (Purposeful, Aligned, Continuous, Tracked)
PACT establishes goals that are Purposeful, Aligned, Continuous, and Tracked. Purposeful means that the goal supports a meaningful achievement or a key mission within an organization. Aligned means that it matches other objectives and follows the chosen strategy. Continuous means that it requires ongoing work. Tracked means that someone monitors the steps required to meet the goal, ticks them off as completed, and adjusts as needed for changing circumstances to keep on course.
The Purposeful and Aligned aspects make this a good choice for people who want to accomplish something significant, not just do a job. That makes it ideal for nonprofit use in addition to businesses. The Continuous aspect allows this to work as a permanent goal-setting framework rather than a time-limited one. Most other frameworks focus on shorter-term, finite goals.
PACT goals work well on an individual basis. They can also work for teams or departments within a larger organization. It's a good choice for groups that have a set of ideals or principles guiding their projects and development.
