Plans are good first step, but they’re of little value unless the key players implement them. Here’s a straightforward way to start the implementation process.

​

Assemble everyone who can make a goal happen and identify the action steps to achieve the goal. On a flip chart or dry-erase board, write who will achieve each step, the date the step will be completed, and who will hold the person accountable. Every quarter, gather the team together to review progress and set new action steps.
