common goal
Mutual desired outcome
A common goal is an objective shared by multiple people or groups, uniting them in purpose.
The phrase emphasizes alignment—parties may differ in other ways but work toward the same end: Despite their rivalry, both companies had a common goal of industry reform.
Common here means shared or mutual, not ordinary.
