Why is Setting Target Condition Important

Thriving in competitive circumstances involves striving for something, not just reacting to problems!

Developing Good Target Condition

A target condition is not about choosing between existing options or best practices.

Itʼs about defining and aspiring to a new level of performance.

Lessons Learned and Reflection:

Lessons Learned: Achieve By Date = Key Element • Shorter horizon is better

Achieving Successive Target Conditions Requires: • Better observations and measurements
