shared goal
Mutual desired outcome
A shared goal is an objective that two or more people or groups are working toward together.
The phrase emphasizes mutual commitment—not just parallel interests, but active collaboration: The ceasefire depends on both sides having a shared goal of peace.
In organizational contexts, shared goals align team members and reduce competing priorities: We need to establish shared goals before the project kicks off.
