Required.

Ambition categorizes Goals into 4 different areas. These categories help identify that growth is happening in all areas of one's life. Be sure to set a variety of Goals in differing categories.

Contribution - Positively impact bottom line of company, group, or self.

Capability - Acquire new knowledge, skill, or competency.

Connection - Build, develop, or reinforce relationships.

Career - Take action to grow professionally.

Public vs Private Goal. Public is default.

Public Goals are transparent across the entire platform.

Private Goals can only be seen by the creator, relevant Users, and Ambition Admin.

The time frame for the Goal.

Note: A Goal's time frame cannot exceed 365 continuous days.

Will the target automatically be tracked through an existing Metric (Best Practice) Or will this manually be updated through a form (common for Capability and Career Goals)? 

If you select Automatic through Existing Metric, you'll be prompted to select the Ambition Metric to track for this Goal.

If you select Manual through Input Form you'll be prompted to provide a Metric Name for the  measurement of this Goal (Conferences Attended, Modules Completed, Dollars, etc). 

If Automatic through Existing Metric was selected, which Metric will you track?

If Manual through Input Form was selected, what will your Manual Entry Metric be called?

Note: If Activity and Objective Score are selected, it's important to remember they are calculated based on specific time frames. Example if your Organization utilizes a Monthly Objective Score, a Weekly Objective Score Goal's value will represent the monthly value instead of calculating the gain in Objective Score over the respective week.

Will this Goal add or average the values it receives?

Note: Averages will be computed on a record level basis not a daily average basis. Example if a Goal is wanting to be set to track a user making an average of 25 calls a day, select Sum and input a Target Value that is 25 x goal's length in days. 

Activity and Objective Score are inherently averaged. Example If a Goal is set to track daily Activity Score over multiple days, the values will be averaged together instead of summed.

How will this Goal be reached? What is the success threshold?

Note: If Talk Time is calculated in seconds, the Goal's target will also be represented in seconds. Example if a Daily Talk Time Goal is created and the desired Target is 2 hours, input 7200.
