What does good Action Planning look like?
Goal setting: clearly defining the objectives or outcomes you want to achieve. These goals should be specific, measurable, relevant, and time-bound (SMART).
Task identification: identifying the specific actions that need to be completed to achieve the defined goals.
Responsibilities: assigning responsibilities to individuals or teams for each task. This ensures accountability and helps clarify who is responsible for what.
Deadlines: Establish timelines and deadlines for each task to ensure that progress is monitored, and the action planning stays on track.
Sequencing: deciding the order in which action planning should be completed, considering dependencies and priorities.
Monitoring and evaluation: setting up mechanisms to track progress, measure outcomes and make necessary adjustments to the plan as needed.
Communication: ensuring that all stakeholders are informed about the action plan, their roles and the progress being made.
