Here's how you can effectively set goals and objectives for a culinary education team.

To define vision in your culinary education present how your dish is commonly served/comments on nutritional value and outline the safety measures utilized in the prep, storage and serving. This helps the learner develop context for your lesson and it begins the creative process for their own delicious creations. For example: this salad is great for a tailgate party. Everything can be pre chopped, stored in an ice cooler, and tossed/ served at the table or on the picnic blanket. These ingredients provide crunch and flavor, this provides the acid, here is the sweet. Once prepped kids can help toss. It is already low calorie and heart healthy. Your students have not only learned how to, but “why.”

So, I do agree with the seven (7) steps that were clearly identified. I would like to start with a point of inference: People Respect what you Expect and Inspect; without expectations, inspections, and balance feedback these merely become another task that staff are to commonly familiar with. Thus, goals set or established in the aforementioned to must or should include tested quality measures or your efforts may be futile at best. SMART goals as outlined by Doran, 1981 will greatly assist you, ensuring that your work will be specific, measurable, achievable, (relevant/realistic), and time bound/targeted). As you consider setting these goals for your team its crucial to identify the: • Purpose • Plan • Process • And the Priority See Part 2

By including your culinary education team in creating your vision statement (s) you have created your recipe for success: Team buy-in. The session that created the vision statement likely developed a brainstorm of ideas on objectives to achieve the vision. Your team is on-board, invested and excited to be included.

To achieve a big goal, everyone on the team needs to be moving in the same direction. Each team member's individual goals become unique pieces that, when fitted together, create the complete picture of the organisation's objectives. By ensuring everyone understands how their specific contributions connect to the bigger vision, you cultivate a sense of collective purpose. This not only keeps everyone motivated but also encourages collaboration as team members see how their work supports their colleagues' goals leading to a successful team effort.

Oh dear! You have already missed the point. Strategy is what got you here. Everything else in terms of what actually you do is just a normal output of strategy. Otherwise for every strategy there is another strategy. There can only be 1 strategy and from that an endless number of outputs that deliver it. Too many hide behind a strategy rather than simply accepting they just need to do stuff and be held accountable!

AI can significantly enhance monitoring progress by introducing Competency-Based Training and Assessment (CBTA) by automating data collection, analysis, and reporting. AI tools can track individual performance metrics in real-time, providing detailed insights into skill development and identifying areas needing improvement. These tools can analyze data from assessments, feedback, and training activities to personalize learning paths and optimize training schedules. AI can also identify patterns and predict potential challenges, allowing proactive interventions. Additionally, AI-powered dashboards offer visual progress reports, allowing instructors to monitor progress and students to see their growth, fostering continuous improvement.
