Action Plan

C3Perform self-assessment tools deliver the information your organisation needs to develop an effective Action Plan. Action planning is essential to help you prioritise the areas for improvement identified during self-assessment, and agree how to implement the work with specified tasks.

Action planning will help you identify and agree:

  • What actions will be taken forward for each area for improvement
  • Who will be responsible for each action
  • When it will be completed
  • What other Resources may be necessary to make this happen.

The action planning process requires 2 to 4 hours and can involve larger groups. Participants that have contributed to your self-assessment process should be invited to take part in subsequent action planning.

C3Perform tools help you embark on a continuous process of performance improvement so be realistic about what you can achieve this year and what can wait until next time – see helpful TIPs in the box below.

TIPS FOR ACTION PLANNING

• Specific actions should be turned into practical tasks that are allocated to members of the performance improvement team.

• Aim to produce an Action Plan that is both realistic and achievable. Be realistic about how long it takes to implement actions and spread them out over a 12 month period.

• Remember that C3Perform helps you to embark on a continuous process of performance improvement - so be realistic about what you can achieve this year and what can wait until next time.

• Prioritise all the actions for improvement identified in the plan.

• Action planning offers a framework to help shape tasks into bite size chunks.

• The Performance Improvement Champion should take ownership of the final Action Plan and lead work on its implementation.
