1 | Objectives

Classic OGSM

Objectives-Goals-Strategies-Measures (OGSM) harmonize an organization’s goals with its strategy, transforming those goals into a measurable action plan. OGSM is the classic approach to strategy planning and management by objectives. OGSM components include:

  • Objectives – Detail priorities that support church vision.
  • Goals – Define goals for each value statement.
  • Strategies & Action Plans – Goals are translated into choices.
  • Measures – Define how you know the strategy is working.

What Do We Stand For?

Objectives fall into three categories:

  • Global Objective (Vision) – Start with vision clarification and define what you stand for and where God is leading you to go.
    • What’s your vision of the future?
    • Where are you going?
    • What happens when you get there?
  • Defining Objectives (Values) – Defining objectives are a set of priorities that govern your ministry.
    • Defining objectives support the church’s vision.
    • What are your priorities?
  • Ministry Objectives – What will we do to accomplish each defining objective or value?
    • Develop 2-3 objectives for each value.
