由人工智能和领英社区提供技术支持

Diversity is not only a moral imperative, but also a competitive advantage for start-ups. Diverse teams can generate more innovative ideas, solve problems more effectively, and reach wider markets. However, diversity alone is not enough. Start-ups also need to foster an inclusive culture where everyone feels valued, respected, and empowered to achieve their goals. One way to do that is to create a goal-setting framework that promotes diversity and inclusion in every aspect of the start-up's operations. In this article, we will show you how to do that using the SMARTER model.

1 What is SMARTER?

SMARTER is an acronym that stands for Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound, Evaluated, and Reviewed. It is a widely used method for setting and managing goals that are clear, realistic, and aligned with the start-up's vision and values. SMARTER goals can help you track your progress, celebrate your achievements, and identify areas for improvement. However, SMARTER goals can also be used to promote diversity and inclusion in your start-up by ensuring that your goals are fair, equitable, and respectful of everyone's needs, preferences, and potential.

I believe to create a diverse-friendly goal-setting framework, we clearly define diversity goals, like increasing representation in leadership roles. Set quantifiable targets, such as a percentage increase in diverse hires. Ensure goals are realistic and attainable within the startup's context. Align diversity goals with the startup's mission, promoting an inclusive culture. Establish a timeframe for achieving diversity targets, fostering accountability. Regularly assess progress to identify areas needing adjustment or improvement. Adapt goals based on evolving organizational needs and feedback for continuous improvement. The SMARTER framework enhances goal-setting efficacy, promoting diversity in startup cultures.

2 How to set SMARTER goals for diversity and inclusion

To set SMARTER goals for diversity and inclusion, you need to consider how each element of the acronym relates to your start-up's diversity strategy and culture. Questions such as what exactly do you want to achieve, how will you measure progress and success, is the goal realistic and attainable, how does the goal align with your start-up's vision, when do you want to achieve the goal, how will you evaluate outcomes and impacts, and how will you review and reflect on the goal can help guide you. Additionally, it is important to consider who is involved and responsible for the goal, what indicators and metrics will be used, how will any challenges or barriers be overcome, how does the goal support team performance and well-being, how does it benefit customers and partners, what are milestones and deadlines for the goal, what criteria or standards will be used to judge quality and effectiveness of the goal, what did you learn from the goal, and how will lessons learned be used to improve future goals.
