This micro-credential represents a single module within a larger further award (eg. Certificate, Diploma, Masters). By taking this micro-credential you may be eligible to apply for a credit exemption should you progress to study for a further award. The programmes associated with this MicroCred are:

Most organisations believe that they have a set of goals guiding their activity. However, looking more closely at these 'goals' it is clear that some are unclear aspirations rather than goals. There are a number of important differences between aspirations and goals, and it is due to these differences that the two are related but not interchangeable.

As this module will describe, aspirations are the first step in setting motivational and transformational goals. There are 10 steps to be taken to transform an organisational or personal aspiration into a set of clear goals which can be actioned. This module will guide the students through this process and allow them to transform aspirations into specific, measurable, and attainable goals that can be applied in an organisational context or in the personal sphere

Learning Outcomes

On successful completion of the module students will be able to:

  • Demonstrate knowledge of the underlying theories and principles of futuring and goal setting.
  • Identify the different methods and techniques of goal setting:
  • Make their goals in a standard 10 steps process:
  • Analyse and evaluate their own goals and how to reach them.
  • Enhance their own competencies required for reaching their goals.
  • Demonstrate knowledge of how to merge their personal and workplace goals.
