ACTION PLAN
What is an Action Plan?
-a proposed strategy or course of
action.
What is the purpose of making
an action plan?
-an action plan is a document that lists
what steps must be taken in order to
achieve a specific goal. The purpose of
an action plan is to clarify what
resources are required to reach the goal,
formulate a timeline for when specific
tasks need to be completed and
determine what resources are required.
Why is it important to have a
plan?
-Planning is important as it allows you to
prioritize your work, get more done in less
time, helps you to produce quality work
and keeps as disciplined. It is quite
important to plan your work so as to
improve on your productivity by ensuring
you are staying on the right track with
your goals.
How does an action plan help
you?
-Action planning is a process which
will help you to focus your ideas and
to decide what steps you need to
take to achieve particular goals that
you may have. It is a statement of
what you want to achieve over a
given period of time.
How do you write an action plan?
1. Choose an appropriate goal and
clearly define your objective. Take
into consideration not only the
importance of your goal, but also
how reachable it is considering the
time frame and resources you have
to work with.
2. Use a team to create your action
plan. Brainstorming with team
members can help create a stronger
plan of action. And in the course of
creating a plan, you may find that
you need input from others outside
the team as well.
3. Choose action that are concrete,
measurable and attainable. These
steps should be clearly defined, not
vague ideas.
4. Identify who is responsible for each
action step and who will be
supporting them. Support people are
not responsible for the outcome of
an action step, but they assist in the
process.
5. Provide a clear schedule for
completing action steps. It’s
important to break down the timeline
for each step along the way. List the
resources necessary for
accomplishing action steps. If
sufficient resources are not currently
available, include a plan for their
acquisition.
6. Review and update your action plan
as it is implemented. As you track
the progress of your plan make
changes needed as they arise.
7. Communicate with key people about
the plan’s progress and effects as it
is carried out.
What is a SMART action plan?
-a SMART action plan incorporates 5
characteristics of a goal: specific,
measurable, attainable, relevant, and
time-based.
Why is it important to set goals?

-top-level athletes, successful

businesspeople and achievers in all
fields all set goals. Setting goals
gives you acquisition of knowledge,
and helps you to organize your time
and your resources so that you can
make the most of your life.
