Goals
“Goals allow you to control the direction of change in your favor.” …..Brian Tracy
We have always believed, a set of goals, focuses our energy & helps identifying resources needed to complete the project. It sets the course in coordinating the tremendous talent participating in this project, to achieve the tasks for the goals we have set.
In order to achieve this mission we have to break it into “Creative”, “Technical”, “Administrative” & “Leadership” goals. Each of these goals with tasks will end up on the project plan with time-lines to help us make this animation short.
