So, again, we can move backward and find that an Operating Target needs a
Conditional Target ahead of it-to wit, an inspection.
PRODUCTION TARGETS
Setting quotas, usually against time, are production targets.
These often fail because they are unreal or issued for other reasons
than production (i.e. propaganda).
As statistics most easily reflect production, an org or activity can be
so PRODUCTION TARGET conscious that it fails to set Conditional, Operating
or Primary Targets. When this happens, then Production is liable to
collapse for lack of planning stated in other types of targets.
Production as the only target type can become so engulfing that
Conditional Targets even when set are utterly neglected. Then Operating and
Primary Targets get very unreal and stats go DOWN.
YOU HAVE TO INSPECT AND SURVEY AND GATHER DATA AND SET OPERATING AND
PRIMARY TARGETS BEFORE YOU CAN SET PRODUCTION TARGETS.
A normal reason for down statistics on production is the vanishment of
Primary Targets. These go out and nobody notices that this affects
production badly. Production depends on other prior targets being kept in.
PROGRAMMES
Programmes are made up of all types of targets coordinated and executed.
ON TIME.
Programmes extend in time and go overdue to the extent the various types
of targets are not set or not pushed home or drop out.
Programmes fail only because the various types of targets are not
executed or are not kept in.
SUMMARY
You can get done almost anything you want to do if types of targets are
understood, set with reality, held in or completed.
People whose own purposes have failed often cannot either set or
complete targets. The remedy is to rehabilitate their own purposes which
then blows off the stops.
People who stop targets actively have failed so badly that they can only
think in terms of stops.
This whole subject of Targets and purposes is probably a large one.
These are just rough notes and the naming of the different types which is
itself a considerable advance.
It is of help in grasping what is going on and gets one somewhere.
