End-goals are future results an organization or individual would like to achieve. These are typically easy to identify as they are simply desirable outcomes. This should not be confused with strategy and objectives that are concrete plans to achieve end-goals. The following are illustrative examples of end-goals. As you can see from the examples, end-goals offer nothing in terms of how goals will actually be achieved and are therefore of little value on their own.
