doelgerichtere

Doelgerichtere is a Dutch comparative adjective used to describe something that is more goal-oriented or more purpose-driven than another thing. It derives from doelgericht, meaning goal-directed or purposeful, and is commonly used in management, education, marketing, and policy contexts.

Usage and meaning

The term refers to plans, strategies, processes, or actions that place a stronger emphasis on achieving specific objectives. It is often used to contrast with less focused approaches. Examples include doelegerichtere strategie (a more goal-oriented strategy), doelgerichtere communicatie (more targeted or purpose-driven communication), and een doelgerichtere benadering in projectmanagement (a more goal-oriented approach in project management).

Formation and grammar

Doelgerichtere is the comparative form and is typically placed before the noun it modifies, with appropriate article or determiner, for example: een doelgerichtere aanpak. The base form doelgericht can also appear in related constructions such as doelgerichtheid (goal-directedness) or doelgericht werken (working in a goal-directed manner).

Related concepts

Related terms include doelgericht, which means goal-directed, and doelgerichtheid, the quality of being goal-directed. In practice, kuwaoefening or evaluative criteria often accompany a doelgerichtere approach to measure alignment with objectives.

Considerations

Using a more doelgerichtere approach can improve clarity, accountability, and outcome orientation, but it may also risk reducing flexibility or overlooking qualitative factors if applied rigidly. Effective use typically balances goal orientation with adaptability and stakeholder input.
