I know I'll use the Planner, so I felt "connected" to itVery helpful indeed and we will implement this and review during our board meeting weekly
The chart makes one think & start "doing" more
I will definitely use this tool!Role Play make it simple to follow and convertible for my business idea
..can see that it would be a really useful method to continue
I will use that planner! Excellent way for planning and realising tasks and a great way to prioritise.
Very very useful..excellent for focusing and moving forward
A brilliant practical session - a simple, bite sized way to manage progressing the idea
Love the planner concept
