What is Planning?

Planning is a process of determining:

where you are now

where you want to be in future

how you are going to get there


Success Factors

Involve the right peopleHave a clear vision of where you want to go Set a clear starting pointKeep it simpleBreak each step down into ‘bite-sized’ piecesEncourage everyone involved to take ownership of the planUse the plan as a route map on the waySet a realistic timescale


Six Steps to Successful Planning

Step 1: The 20-year dream Step 2: Where are you now? Step 3: Setting some clear goals Step 4: Goals into objectives Step 5: Into action Step 6: Are you keeping to the plan?


Step 1: The 20-year Dream

What do you want your club/organisation to look like in 15 or 20 years’ time?If your dream is to be ‘the best’ in your field, what does ‘the best’ look like?Are there clubs/organisations, in the UK or abroad, that you want to be like?

Think WIDE – don’t be too constrained by the realities of today


Step 2: Where Are You Now?Establish your present position as a clear starting point for the planRelate that to your sport’s performance pathwayWhat does your club/organisation look like (to you and to others) at present? What are your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats?What are you doing now that you would like to do differently and/or better?What are you doing now that is no longer relevant?


Step 3: Setting Some Clear Goals

What will you have to achieve to move towards your vision?How far can you reasonably get towards your vision in the next three or five years?What areas of your club/organisation will you have to develop to get there?


Step 4: Goals Into Objectives

Objectives are how statements

How will you achieve your goals?

What tasks will you need to carry out to achieve each goal?


Step 5: Into Action

Action plans delegate responsibility for getting the tasks done

Add who to your objectives

Add when to your objectives

Add how much to your objectives


Step 6: Are You Keeping to the Plan?

Set some distance markers to map your progress along the routeUse the plan to monitor your progressUse the plan to let other people know what you are doingUse the plan to help you reassess prioritiesUse the plan to identify which parts need extra help
