Which one of the following is NOT an example of a desired outcome?

Show Answer
Correct Answer: A

Implementing new machinery to complete work processes faster is a means to an end rather than a desired outcome itself. Desired outcomes are high-level goals such as increasing sales, reducing costs, or reducing delivery time. These outcomes can be achieved through various actions or solutions, such as implementing new machinery, but the machinery itself is not a desired outcome.

Option A, "Implement new machinery to complete the work processes faster," is NOT an example of a desired outcome. Instead, it represents a potential solution or action rather than the actual desired outcome. Desired outcomes are typically the high-level, strategic goals or results that an organization aims to achieve.
