You should learn the names and types of targets for quick use and classification of what you are trying to do.
MAJOR TARGET — The broad general ambition, possibly covering a long only approximated period of time. Such as “to attain greater security” or “to get the org up to 50 staff members.”
PRIMARY TARGET — The organizational, personnel, communication type targets.
These have to be kept in. These are the terminals and route and havingness and org board type targets. Example: “To put someone in charge of organizing it and have him set remaining primary targets.” Or “To reestablish the original comm system which has dropped out.”
CONDITIONAL TARGETS — Those which set up EITHER/OR to find out data or if a project can be done or where or to whom.
OPERATING TARGETS — Those which lay out directions and actions or a schedule of events or timetable.
PRODUCTION TARGETS — Those which set quantities like statistics.
PROGRAM — The complete or outline of a complete target series containing all types.
While there may be other types of targets, these (more fully described in HCO P/L 14 Jan 69, 16 Jan 69, 18 Jan 69 and correction HCO P/L 23 Jan 69 and this one, HCO P/L 24 Jan 69) should be studied and every target set should be classed as one or more of the above.
“Complete planning” and “programs” are synonymous at this time and PROGRAMS is the preferred word.
