Part 3 - Action programme
HOW TO CONSTRUCT YOUR ACTION PROGRAMME
Part 1 and Part 2 should have helped you to understand your strengths and weaknesses. The general questions in Part 1 are a good guide to this, so look back and count the number of times you answered “yes” or “no” to the ten questions.
The more “yes” answers, the more likely it is that your business will do well. The “no” answers may be problem or opportunity areas for your business. Choose the one which is most important for your business now. This is the sensible way to improve your business. Take the most urgent problem first. Do not try to solve everything at once.
Write the problem or opportunity into the action programme below, as in the example. Then fill in What must be done, By whom? and By when? in order to make sure things improve. Finally, go back to your business and carry out the action programme.
