Action planning
Action planning is the process of operationalising every one of your goals towards the attainment of your vision.
The action plan that you produce for your goals should consist of the following components:
- A statement describing what must be achieved – the long, medium or short-term goals.
- Details of the specific steps required to achieve each goal.
- A time schedule of when each step must be completed by and how long it will take.
- Clarification of who else is responsible for helping you achieve your goals.
- Clarification of all the inputs and resources you need to accomplish the goal.
As you go through the action planning process, you should end up with a practical action plan that will help you resource and complete the required steps to achieve your goals.
