Why targets and incentives fail and how to fix them
Bernie Smith, 2021
Was ist drin?
A solid, practical method for goal-setting and incentive/reward design.
Recommendation
Bernie Smith shares a goal and incentive design system he calls ROKET-DS. He offers at least a dozen examples of targets and incentives gone horribly wrong to make his point that proper goal-setting and incentive/reward design demand careful thought, process and discipline. Smith explains SMART goals, KPIs, OKRs, and various financial and non-financial rewards. For the beginner, Smith’s process – while exacting – makes great sense. Smith also offers resources to guide you in using his system as you work your way through his steps and strategies.
