Frame the goal with the SMART habit: name the exact use case, attach a metric and a target, confirm the data and resources actually exist, tie it to the wider strategy, and set a pilot window. A vague statement like “use AI to improve social” is not a goal; a testable one is — for example, “run sentiment analysis on our launch mentions and lift positive sentiment 10% through proactive replies, measured over a six-week pilot” tells you what to build, what counts as success, and when to check. Set the target from your own baseline rather than inheriting a number from a case study.
