Objectives & Goals
Products and services that achieve a goal or an objective for a customer. For example, an online banking service that helps you to pay your monthly bills.

The things that make communities happy, healthy, fulfilled, peaceful and prosperous such as a clean environment, quality education and adequate healthcare.
