Replacer le plan d'action dans son contexte

Un plan d'action est là pour nous aider à accomplir notre stratégie. Et la stratégie est définie en fonction de nos ambitions et nos valeurs.

Donc : Ambition (vision) → stratégie → plan d'action → exécution de la stratégie.

La définition du plan d'action

Il s'agit d'un document (papier ou numérique) qui indique l' objectif à atteindre  et les étapes pour y parvenir.

Il affiche  QUI  fait  QUOI  pour QUAND  et  DANS QUEL BUT.

Vous pouvez aussi ajouter de la complexité dans votre planification :  chemin critique , sous-objectifs, jalons,  checklist  à utiliser pour effectuer le travail.

Le format peut varier : Excel, Google Sheet, Asana, sur Notion, et même  Workflowy .

Le but de cet article est de vous montrer la méthodologie que j'utilise pour créer mes plans d'action (et un modèle que j'utilise).

Vous trouverez un modèle excel / google sheet à télécharger gratuitement, un peu plus loin sur cette page. 

Les 4 bénéfices d'un plan d'action

1. Offre une vue d'ensemble des tâches à réaliser.  Ça réduit les oublis tout en offrant une vision globale de la charge de travail à venir.

2. Permet de visualiser l'avancée . Si votre plan d'action est visuel, vous pouvez voir la progression. Pour vous et vos équipes, c'est motivant.

3. Maîtriser les moyens.  En planifiant, vous augmentez les chances d'atteindre les échéances dans les temps, tout en respectant les coûts.

4. Optimiser vos ressources.  Vous pouvez anticiper les charges de travail, les goulots d'étranglements et les problèmes à venir.

Situations appropriées à la mise en place d'un plan d'action

1.  Succès passés.  Vous (ou un membre de votre équipe) avez déjà réussi à accomplir l'objectif par le passé, ou un objectif similaire dans le passé. Vous avez des connaissances.

2.  Fiabilité . Vous (ou votre équipe) avez une bonne maîtrise personnelle. Quand vous lisez la tâche une de votre plan d'action, vous vous mettez à travailler sur cette tâche (et  vous ne procrastinez pas  en repassant vos chaussettes).

Quand vous voyez qu'il faut avoir rendu le dossier X à la date Y, votre  perfectionnisme  ne se met pas en travers de votre chemin.

3.  Environnement stable.  Quand vous pressez sur le bouton, la lumière s'allume. Les trains arrivent et partent à l'heure. Etc. 

4.  Peu de dépendances critiques.  Vous n’avez pas ou peu de dépendances critiques pour la réalisation de votre plan d'action (un exemple de dépendance critique : une personne qui a des compétences difficiles à trouver ailleurs).

Comment créer un plan d'action pour concrétiser vos projets ?

Pour comprendre comment un plan d'action peut vous aider, penchons-nous sur la citation apocryphe  d'Eisenhower  :

Les plans sont inutiles, mais planifier est essentiel. 

Ce que le général veut dire ici, c'est que la méthode pour établir le plan est plus importante que le résultat final (le plan).

Comment est-ce possible ?

En suivant une bonne approche (que je détaille plus loin) vous ferez des choix.

Vous mettrez de côté certaines options. Vous garderez des idées pour plus tard. Vous penserez à certaines variantes qui pourront être utiles si la situation change.

En suivant la bonne méthodologie, vous êtes plus ouvert à l'idée d'adapter votre plan d'action. Il est alors plus facile de saisir de nouvelles opportunités et éviter certains risques.

À présent, voici la procédure que j'utilise (que ce soit un plan d'action ou un  rétroplanning ).

La méthode des 4P pour élaborer et réaliser votre plan d'action

Avant toute chose, j'explique en détail chaque étape de la méthode des 4P dans un cours vidéo encore gratuit qui se  trouve ici . Si vous préférez le format vidéo, le cours fait 50 minutes et vous montre de manière progressive tout ce que j'explique ici au format texte.

La méthode des 4P est composée de quatre étapes à suivre dans un certain ordre.  Telle une recette de cuisine . Le résultat final est un plan d'action pour commencer et terminer votre projet sans vous disperser.

La méthode des 4P ne remplace pas la planification stratégique. La stratégie vient encore avant la méthode des 4P.

Ce que je viens d'écrire peut-être frustrant si vous voulez rapidement "créer un plan d'action" à montrer à des investisseurs inexpérimentés ou un client pénible... mais il n'y a rien de pire que de faire parfaitement ce qui ne mérite pas d'être fait.

Pour vous aider à définir votre stratégie, des modèles comme le  SWOT  ou encore le  CQQCOQP  peuvent aider (ou la lecture du livre "Stratégie océan bleu").

Mais rien ne remplace une personne expérimentée qui a réalisé plusieurs fois, et dans un contexte similaire au vôtre, ce que vous cherchez à mettre en place. Je me répète, mais c'est important.

Ceci dit voici la première étape pour établir un plan d'action qui tient la route.

1. Analyser votre  planning  existant

La première étape consiste à savoir à quoi vous allez dire non pour mettre en place votre projet

À partir du moment où vous investissez du temps / de l'énergie / de l'argent pour travailler sur ce plan d'action, ces ressources ne peuvent pas être utilisées pour d'autres actions.

Il en va de même lorsque vous ou votre équipe, vous vous mettrez à avancer sur votre plan d'action. Chaque oui équivaut à un non.

La plupart des gens pensent qu'ils pourront avancer sur leurs buts... mais ils ne vont pas se demander ce qui va passer à la trappe.  Car dans une journée de 24h, il y a forcément des activités qui passent à la trappe.

Faire le deuil en amont vous évite une quantité de cris, de pleurs et de burnout par la suite.

Les gens qui font des plans d'action sans réfléchir à ce qui va passer à la trappe se mettent dans une situation bien inconfortable (pour eux-mêmes et leurs clients / équipes)

La première question consiste à clairement identifier les ressources à disposition pour réaliser votre objectif.

• Un jour par semaine ? Deux jours ? Durant combien de semaines / mois ?
• Combien d'argent avez-vous a disposition pour ce projet ?
• Qu'allez-vous cesser de faire pour avancer sur votre projet ?
• Et combien de temps cela va vous permettre d'obtenir chaque semaine ?
• Que faut-il garder ?

À la fin de cette première étape, vous avez une liste d'activités à mettre sur pause pour avancer sur votre projet, ainsi qu'une idée du temps à disposition chaque semaine.

Si vous avez une équipe, le principe et le même. Deuxième étape :

2. Définir le  périmètre  

Pour atteindre votre objectif, vous avez une quantité de temps, d'argent, d'énergie limité. Même si vous vous appelez Elon Musk.

Ces ressources sont utilisées pour accomplir les tâches de votre plan d'action. Si vous ajoutez en cours de route des tâches auxquelles vous n'avez pas pensé, les biens requis augmenteront. 

Où allez-vous prendre ces ressources dans votre entreprise (si vous avez une entreprise) ? Et quels autres projets en pâtiront ?

Pour réduire cette tendance qui fait que certains n'arrivent jamais au bout de leur projet (rajouter des tâches en cours de route), il est important de définir votre périmètre du projet / plan d'action.

Un périmètre de projet est constitué de trois éléments interdépendants, aussi appelé triangle QCD.

Les éléments sont  interdépendants .

Augmenter ou diminuer la qualité à atteindre aura une répercussion sur les coûts, sur les délais, ou sur les deux.

Que faire si vous vous lancez dans une aventure que vous n'avez jamais réalisé auparavant ?

Il n'est pas rare de  tripler l'estimation initiale des coûts  lorsqu'un projet n'a jamais été réalisé auparavant.

À la fin de cette deuxième phase, vous avez un périmètre QCD grossièrement défini. J'ai écrit un article qui détaille le  Triangle d'or / triangle QCD . Il s'agit d'une étape cruciale qui facilite l'élaboration de votre plan d'action.

Sans cette phase, votre plan d'action sera autant utile qu'un smartphone sans batterie.

3. Définir la  priorité  de vos tâches

Une fois votre périmètre  grossièrement  défini, définissez les tâches qui seront réalisées à l'intérieur de celui-ci (c'est-à-dire avec les ressources définies à l'avance).

Il existe différentes méthodes pour prioriser, pour ma part, j'utilise souvent la  méthode MoSCoW  (j'en parle dans mon nouveau livre qui sort en septembre 2023). 

MoSCoW est un acronyme pour nommer quatre catégories de tâches.

Must do (M) - je DOIS faire

Il s'agit des tâches impératives à réaliser pour mener à bien votre plan d'action. Si vous ne réalisez pas ces tâches, votre projet est un échec. Le produit est inutile.

Should do (S) - je DEVRAIS faire

Il s'agit des tâches qui apportent une grosse valeur ajoutée au projet, mais qui ne sont pas critiques. Sans elle, le résultat est utilisable.

Could do (C) - je POURRAIS faire

Il s'agit des "petits plus" que vous pourriez faire s'il vous restait du temps ou de l'argent (après avoir terminé les actions M et S).

Won't do - je NE FERAI PAS

Il s'agit de tout ce que vous ne ferez pas. Gardez ces tâches dans votre boîte à idées d'amélioration pour la seconde version.

Exemple de priorisation avec la matrice MoSCoW (cliquez pour voir)

Définir le périmètre

• Qualité = Créer une présentation vidéo de la méthode des 4P d'une heure pour commencer et terminer ses projets plus facilement.
• Coûts = 12h de travail
• Délais = J+14

Lister les tâches possibles puis définir le temps pour chaque tâche

• Créer inscription au programme 1h
• Créer une page de présentation du programme 1h
• Charger et configurer les vidéos sur l'académie 30min
• Monter / Éditer le programme 3h
• Tourner le cours 3h
• Définir le script du programme 3h
• Délimiter le sujet du programme 1h
• Créer des étapes de progression 1h
• Écrire 4 e-mails d'annonce 2h
• Ouvrir les commentaires 5min
• Faire des vignettes pour le cours 1h
• Créer des PDF du cours 2h
• Trouver des illustrations 30min
• Lister les ressources mentionnées sous le cours 10min
• Créer une certification 2h
• Mettre à jour le programme en me basant sur les premiers retours 12h
• Envoyer version 1 pour test 1h
• Trouver des testeurs 1h

Répartir les tâches dans les catégories MoSCoW

Je dois (MUST)

Je devrais (SHOULD)

Je pourrais (COULD)

Je ne ferai pas (WON'T)

Si en faisant cet exercice, vous réalisez que le périmètre initial n'est pas suffisant, il vous faudra prendre la décision de changer ou maintenir celui-ci.

Souvenez-vous, à côté de votre périmètre, il y a d'autres périmètres, d'autres projets... d'autres plans d'action et vos journées sont limitées à 24h.

Concept clé : votre périmètre de projet n'est jamais statique, il peut être changé au niveau de la priorisation, mais aussi au moment de la progression. Ce qui est important est de changer celui-ci de  manière délibérée  (ce que les gens ne font rarement).

À la fin de cette troisième phase, vous avez une liste de tâches M (MUST, donc DOIS) à réaliser, avec le temps que cela prend.

Ces tâches MUST peuvent venir s'ajouter dans un tableau sous forme de liste  (Excel / Google / Notion / Etc...)

Ou dans un  tableau kanban  (une manière plus visuelle d'afficher vos tâches).

J'ai une préférence pour le format Kanban, car il me permet de voir le flux de mon travail d'une manière visuelle.

Ici j'ai une illustration d'un "plan d'action" dynamique dans un mur kanban plus complexe. Je réalise que l'étape de la validation et mon  goulot d'étranglement.

4. Progresser au quotidien sur votre plan d'action

L'étape de la progression consiste à exécuter les tâches définies aux précédentes étapes. Les tâches que vous n'avez pas identifiées comme MUST peuvent être utiles quand la situation change... je les insère dans une autre catégorie bien pratique qui se trouve tout à gauche de mon tableau : la catégorie des idées.

Cette catégorie permet de réduire la dispersion et le  biais de l'optimisme ... cela me permet d'être plus réaliste et éviter la sensation de surmenage.

Dans cette dernière étape, il est important de savoir gérer les imprévus .

Définir les rôles opérationnels

Que ce soit votre commercial, votre équipe marketing, ou le comité de direction de votre entreprise... Si les rôles ne sont pas clairs, c'est le début des ennuis.

Par exemple, si une tâche n'a pas de responsable clairement attribuée, celle-ci ne va pas se réaliser comme par magie.

J'ai rédigé un article qui vous aide à mieux définir les rôles sur votre plan d'action, en utilisant la  matrice RACI .

Quels outils utiliser pour la mise en œuvre de votre plan ?

Il existe différents logiciels pour établir votre plan d'action. Je le répète, ce qui est important, c'est la méthode utilisée pour établir votre plan d'action.

Si vous appliquez la  méthode des 4P , vous serez bien plus avancé que la plupart des gens qui utilisent "la technique du doigt mouillé" pour savoir dans quelle direction avancer.

Mais le bon outil a son utilité, notamment dans sa capacité à coordonner les actions au sein d'une équipe. Voici quelques outils.

• Le plan d'action sur Excel / Google sheet (idéal pour un individu ou une petite équipe)
• Le tableau kanban dans Workflowy (idéal pour un individu ou une petite équipe)
• Le diagramme de Gantt inséré dans Asana /  Meistertask  (pour des équipes plus grandes)

Plan d’Action : 8 étapes, exemples et astuces

La mise en place d’un plan d’action est une étape essentielle à la réalisation de projets. C’est le plan d’action qui précède la phase d’action à proprement parler, et qui permet d’orienter avec précision les tâches à accomplir.

Sa mise en place demande une préparation et des étapes à suivre que nous allons vous détailler dans cet article.

Pourquoi le plan d'action ?

Le but d’un plan d’action est surtout de parvenir à lier les actions les unes avec les autres.

En faisant cela, on arrive plus facilement à comprendre les conséquences de chaque tâche, on arrive mieux à les anticiper, on évite d’être pris au dépourvu et on parvient à créer des scénarios qui nous permettent de savoir comment réagir.

Un plan d’action pertinent doit donc prévoir un maximum d’hypothèses pour chaque action. Il doit également laisser le moins de place possible au hasard ou à l’improvisation.

Il n’est pas question de prévoir absolument tout lorsque vous essayez de définir votre plan.

Cela est tout simplement impossible. Il faudra vous préparer à garder une part d’improvisation et de spontanéité à certains moments clefs.

Cependant, un plan bien ficelé vous permettra de garder le contrôle de la situation dans de nombreux cas et de vous approcher, pas à pas, de votre objectif. 

Les prérequis du plan d'action

Si vous souhaitez savoir comment définir un plan d’action pour votre projet, retenez que vous devez respecter les trois principes simples qui suivent :

• Avoir un objectif bien précis
• Avoir une liste de toutes les actions à mener pour éviter d’en oublier 
• Avoir un moyen de lier, classer et prioriser toutes les actions entre elles, afin d’atteindre l’objectif fixé

Pour ce faire, il faut généralement consigner toutes les informations dans un document clair et lisible. Vous pouvez donc soit :

• Rédiger le détail de chaque activité 
• Faire des schémas explicatifs 
• Cumuler les deux

Astuce : Personnellement, j’aime avoir une vision schématique de la situation. Je privilégie donc les schémas pour comprendre les tenants et aboutissants d’une situation. Vous pouvez utiliser pour cela une mind map .

Une fois que vous avez clairement défini l’objectif et les enjeux de votre plan d’action, vous pouvez préparer sa réalisation.

Les étapes de réalisation ne peuvent être parfaitement exécutées si l’on ne se livre pas à un certain nombre d’exercices au préalable.

En effet, pour que l’outil ne souffre d’aucun couac, il est recommandé de :

• Faire un exercice de brainstorming : il permet de développer des idées les plus pertinentes pour le projet et surtout de mieux cerner les objectifs
• Émettre un objectif principal : le défi ici est d’analyser l’ensemble des petits et grands objectifs de votre projet, afin d’en tirer ou formuler un qui soit plus grand en suivant la méthode SMART
• Préciser correctement votre cible : lorsqu’il s’agit d’un projet commercial, il est impératif de bien connaître la cible principale que vous cherchez à toucher
• Estimer vos besoins temporels, humains, matériels et financiers sans lesquels le projet ne peut aboutir.

8 étapes pour faire un plan d’action

Avant de vous lancer dans la création d’un plan d’action, la rédaction de votre document ou d’envisager les conséquences de chacune de vos actions, il vous faudra faire un travail préliminaire d’analyse et de regroupement des informations mentionnées plus haut.

La création de cet outil se déroule généralement en 8 étapes.

Étape 1 : Établir un objectif

Il s'agit ici de préciser sur les premières lignes l’objectif final que vous souhaitez atteindre, et pourquoi il est vraiment nécessaire de parvenir à cette fin.

Procéder ainsi permet à toutes les parties prenantes de s’approprier véritablement le projet. Cela les aide également à mieux toucher du doigt l’importance de chacune des actions qui seront précisées dans le modèle définitif du plan.

Bien définir l’objectif et essayer de le rendre aussi précis et clair que possible augmentera les chances de l’atteindre. Plus l’objectif que vous vous fixez est clair pour tous, plus le cheminement pour y parvenir sera également clair.

Ne dites pas : « Je souhaite monter les briques de la fondation », mais plutôt « Monter les 15 000 briques de la fondation en 3 semaines ».

Une fois cet objectif bien ancré dans l’esprit de chaque intervenant du projet, vous pouvez commencer à mettre en forme les autres étapes autour de votre projet.

Étape 2 : Analyser la situation

L’objectif à ce stade de définition de votre plan d’action est de mesurer vos forces, faiblesses, opportunités et menaces de l’environnement.

L’idéal dans ce cas est de mettre en place une analyse SWOT de votre situation. 

Voici quelques exemples de questions que vous pouvez vous poser pour réussir cette étape :

• Quelles sont les licences nécessaires à la mise en place d’un prototype ?
• Qui sont les donneurs d’ordres, les clients, et comment choisir les fournisseurs  ?
• Quelle relation entretenez-vous avec chacun d’eux ?
• Avez-vous dans votre équipe quelqu’un qui s’entend bien avec eux ?
• Avez-vous les budgets nécessaires ?
• Est-il nécessaire de contracter un prêt ?
• Si oui, avez-vous les garanties nécessaires ?
• Quel est l’environnement juridique actuel ?
• Qui est responsable des risques encourus ?
• Ce domaine vous est-il familier ?
• Sinon, êtes-vous accompagné d’experts ?

Je précise une nouvelle fois que toutes ces questions sont des exemples de questionnements en vrac.

Il est essentiel que vous vous posiez vous-même les bonnes questions à cette étape, après avoir bien défini les objectifs du plan.

Une fois cela fait, entrez chacune des réponses dans l’une des quatre cases : forces, faiblesses, opportunités ou menace, comme dans l'exemple ci-après :

Vous aurez ainsi une ébauche de chaque chose sur laquelle vous pourrez vous appuyer ou à laquelle il vous faudra être attentif.

Étape 3 : Définir les actions à mener

Nous voici à l’étape cruciale de la construction d’un plan d’action.

Dès l’instant que vous savez où vous voulez aller et avez une vision d’ensemble de la situation et de l’environnement, vous pouvez commencer par définir les actions concrètes à mettre en place pour l’atteinte de l’objectif final. 

Comment procéder concrètement  ?

Vous allez lister en vrac tout ce que vous pensez devoir faire. 

L’idée est de rassembler l’ensemble des éléments utiles, de les détailler au minium, puis de faire un tri.

Ainsi, dans un premier temps, énumérez tout ce qui vous vient à l’esprit en cherchant à les distinguer les uns des autres. Par la suite, essayez de vous appuyer sur votre analyse des étapes précédentes pour voir les différentes actions à mener pour combler vos faiblesses ou les trous.

N’oubliez surtout pas de définir les critères qui confirment la réalisation réussie de chaque action.

Pour monter mon entreprise, voici les différentes actions que je dois exécuter :

• Préparer un Business Plan
• M’enregistrer auprès de l’organisme dédié 
• Demander un prêt à la banque
• Trouver 2 partenaires ou salariés à qui confier les opérations commerciales, administratives et marketing 
• Louer un local 
• Investir dans les équipements (les citer) 
• Concevoir le site web de l’entreprise 
• Trouver un webmaster 

Étape 4 : Prioriser les actions

Quelles sont les tâches qui sont plus prioritaires que d’autres ?

C’est la question à laquelle vous devez répondre à cette étape.

4.1) Suivre une logique d'évolution

Classifiez donc les actions énumérées sur votre liste en suivant une logique d’évolution progressive. Une bonne gestion des priorités des tâches est primordiale pour une bonne utilisation et répartition des ressources à disposition.

Si je souhaite créer un site internet pour vendre des produits, la première étape sera la création du site internet et l’étape finale sera la mise en ligne des produits. Ne mettez pas la charrue avant les bœufs !

Il n’y a aucun doute que vous trouviez rapidement les actions à exécuter au début et à la fin du projet.

Mais il devrait vous rester une nébuleuse d’actions sur votre liste pour lesquelles vous devrez trouver leurs places au milieu de ces deux extrêmes. Déterminez-les !

4.2) Supprimer les étapes inutiles

Il faut savoir qu'un grand nombre d’actions que vous aviez prévues se révéleront inutiles et il sera important de les éliminer.

Continuons avec l’exemple de la création d’un site internet. Vous avez listé de nombreuses actions comme :

• La création du site 
• La création d’une page Facebook 
• La signature de contrats de partenariats 
• La prospection de fournisseurs 
• Et la vente des produits

Or, il s’avère que votre popularité et votre visibilité ont augmenté plus vite que prévu. Les fournisseurs viennent à vous sans que vous ayez à lever le petit doigt.

Allez-vous continuer à prospecter des fournisseurs ?

Bien sûr que non ! Cette étape devient totalement inutile !

Étape 5 : Affecter les rôles et responsabilités

Pour chaque action mentionnée dans le plan, il faut préciser le ou les intervenants qui se chargeront de son exécution.

À cet effet, cherchez à identifier et à inscrire chaque partie prenante dans le plan d’action en tenant compte de son profil. 

Je vous recommande fortement de nommer un responsable pour chaque action qui nécessitera la collaboration de plusieurs personnes.

Cela permettra de faciliter la supervision de chaque opération à chaque niveau.

Étape 6 : Identifier les ressources nécessaires

Au même titre que les intervenants, vous devez affecter les autres ressources nécessaires à l’exécution de chaque action.

Cela implique donc de préciser au niveau de chaque tâche les éventuels moyens matériels, financiers et techniques nécessaires à son exécution.

En précisant les ressources à allouer à chaque action , vous serez en mesure de faire le point sur l’ensemble des modalités dont vous aurez besoin pour conduire votre projet à bon port.

Cela permettra également de mieux répartir l’utilisation de vos différents moyens, de connaître vos limites et de ne pas excéder les prévisions.

Étape 7 : Définir le planning

Votre projet se déroulera sur combien de temps ? Cette information doit être facilement accessible sur votre plan d’actions. C’est pourquoi vous devez établir une temporalité pour chacune des actions.

Non seulement il faut préciser leurs durées respectives, développez le réflexe de rajouter des deadlines. Ces derniers vous garantiront l’exécution des travaux dans les délais pour le respect du calendrier préétabli.

Par ailleurs, je vous recommande de notifier au niveau de chaque action leur niveau de récurrence (hebdomadaire, mensuel, trimestriel…). Cette information toute banale peut s’avérer salutaire pour l’exécutant.

Planifiez vos actions et suivez leur progression en utilisant le planning Gantt

Étape 8 : Évaluer et adapter le plan d'action

Il est absolument important de laisser la place à l’imprévu lors de l’établissement de votre plan. 

Comme nous venons de le voir dans l’exemple ci-dessus, quand vous créez votre plan d’action, il est essentiel de retenir qu'il arrive parfois des choses imprévisibles.

Le plan d’action est mouvant et doit théoriquement être adapté en fonction de chaque nouvel élément à votre connaissance.

Étant donné qu’il est à la fois impossible et peu rentable de mettre en place un nouveau plan chaque jour, et que les imprévus se manifestent toujours quand on s’y attend le moins, il vous faudra bien souvent faire preuve d’adaptabilité et d’improvisation. 

C’est en étant flexible et en épousant les évolutions imprévues que vous obtiendrez vos meilleurs résultats !

Alors, prenez le plan pour ce qu’il est : un guide pour savoir où vous allez, comment y aller et quelles sont les grandes lignes à suivre. 

Mais ne restez pas figé dans le plan, au risque de vous retrouver dans des situations impossibles à résoudre !

Exemple de plan d’action 

La méthode QQOQCP fournit le contexte et les informations nécessaires pour élaborer un plan d'action de manière complète.

Elle aide à définir "Qui" est responsable de chaque action, "Où" et "Quand" ces actions doivent être effectuées, "Comment" elles doivent être exécutées, et "Pourquoi" elles sont nécessaires pour atteindre les objectifs définis.

Voici à quoi peut ressembler un plan d’action clair et finalisé.

Nom du projet : Créer un service de réparation de véhicules d’intervention à domicile

Contacter une entreprise d’aide à la création et l’enregistrement d’entreprise

Qui  ? L’entreprise Shine

Quand  ? Au plus tard le 25 Septembre

Comment  ? Par téléphone ou via le formulaire de contact sur leur site web

Où  ? En ligne

Quels moyens utiliser  ? Téléphone ou Ordinateur

Achat de tout le matériel et tout le dispositif d’intervention :

Qui  ? Moi-même (je maîtrise le domaine)

Quand  ? Dès que possible (Après l’enregistrement de l’entreprise et la disponibilité des fonds)

Comment  ? (Par fonds propres et prêts bancaires)

Où  ? Chez Métro Marketplace

Quel moyen utiliser  ? Voiture personnelle

Création d’un site internet dédié au projet

Qui  ? Eric, un webmaster freelance

Quand  ? Pour le 25 Octobre au plus tard

Comment  ? WordPress

Où  ? À domicile

Quel moyen utiliser  ? Ses compétences propres

La définition d’un plan d’action pour un projet reste essentielle. Il vous permet de mieux préciser vos objectifs, d’anticiper vos différentes activités et de savoir comment les dérouler de façon chronologique.

De fait, il favorise une meilleure compréhension du projet et sert à faire le point sur l’ensemble des ressources dont vous aurez besoin.

Grâce à lui, il est possible d’établir des échéances pour chacune des tâches à réaliser et d’inclure des exercices de feedbacks. 

Ainsi, sa réalisation, au-delà du contrôle de vos actions et de leur définition en termes de temporalité qu’il permet, il facilite le suivi de vos missions.

Ainsi, la mise en place d’un plan d’actions nécessite une analyse détaillée de la situation, de la patience et une bonne dose de motivation. Le plus difficile au final n’est pas tant cette analyse.

Mais c’est de trouver un objectif clair et dont la flamme brûle assez fort en nous pour ne pas tout abandonner à la première contrariété ou au premier imprévu.

N’hésitez pas à nous faire part de votre vécu et vos expériences avec les plans d’actions !

• 10 Action Plan Templates To Help You Execute Projects

As the name suggests, an action plan is the set of tasks or activities you need to complete to achieve a goal or complete a project. You can think of it as a timeline, a list of actionable steps, people responsible for each of them and who follows the progress of each step to come up with the best results.

This single document can help you plan and monitor activities, identify the resources needed, and how and when they should be used to ultimately achieve your stated goal.

Now, you might be wondering the difference between an action plan and a to-do list. The most significant difference between these two is that to-do lists are ongoing and include tasks for different goals and projects. On the flip side, an action plan is focused on a specific goal within a limited time frame.

The purpose of creating an action plan:

• Consumer Complaint Investigation
• Project Management
• Risk and Opportunity Management
• Product Launch
• Daily Meetings
• Market Research

According to a recent study, those who finish their business plan are twice as likely to succeed in their business than those who have no business plan. So, plan to be prepared for the obstacles ahead and keep yourself on track.

And an effective action plan helps you boost your productivity and keep yourself focused. Here are some of the reasons why you need an action plan.

Get a Clear Direction

An action plan highlights the steps you should take and the timeframe to complete them. Therefore, you will get a clear direction of what to do in order to achieve your goals. So, whenever you stress yourself about the next steps or the actions taken in the past, you have everything in hand.

Keep Everyone On the Same Track

An effective action plan can bring every team member or stakeholder on the same page. It can be an individual who is an expert in the area of work, the one who is experiencing the problem and stands to benefit from the change, or who can contribute towards the goal or project.

Get a Better Clarification of the Timeframe

Every action in your action plan should have an exact completion date. Once you assign all the tasks that need to be done to achieve your goal and understand the requirements of resources for it, you can quickly figure out how long the overall action plan will take.

Measure Your Success

Measuring the success of the progress of your goal is another crucial benefit of using an action plan. For example, if an objective is to write an action plan, there may be many steps towards that goal, including understanding the design process, writing the text, branding and many others.

You can measure each of these steps to ensure you achieve the goals and contribute to the larger objective of creating an action plan.

Learning to create an action plan might seem daunting at first, but it’s worth the effort to keep yourself productive towards the goal later on. Though there is no universal formula to create an action plan, and they may differ in terms of tasks and timelines, you can follow the simple steps below to create one.

Define S.M.A.R.T. Goals

The most important ingredients you need to create an effective action plan are the goals you want to achieve. Since you are reading this, you might have already defined goals. But, if you haven’t, use the SMART method to create specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-bound goals.

Use the infographic below to understand a SMART goal and try to create yours accordingly.

Once you have set SMART goals, you are already halfway through achieving them. If you struggle with creating SMART goals, use the worksheet template below.

Prepare the List of Actions

Now, prepare a list of actions you need to take to reach your goal. It would be better to divide your main goal into smaller actionable steps to make the final goal less overwhelming and get closer to achieving your goal one step at a time.

However, make sure that the actions are realistic and relevant to your goal. For example, if you want to generate 30% more leads, some of your actions could be creating engaging content, optimizing your web pages, asking for referrals, and many others.

Identify and Allocate Resources

Before creating the action plan, you must identify all the resources required to complete the tasks. Some of the resources you need will include money, equipment, personnel, tools and others. And if you don’t have the resources available at the moment, you need to make a plan to acquire them.

Once you have your resources, allocate them to the right people. For example, suppose you are running a digital marketing campaign. In that case, you will need to have the applications and tools for content production, graphic design, and marketing analytics and hand them over to your content manager, social media manager and SEO manager.

Set the Deadline

As we have already discussed, the goals should be SMART. And here, T stands for time-bound, which means that you should have a start and finish date to achieve your goal. If you don’t do it, you are likely to never reach the goal.

Therefore, choose a specific deadline so the other team members involved can plan better for the execution of the action plan.

Additionally, you can break one large goal into smaller subgoals and set an individual deadline for each of them. For example, if you want to generate 30% more leads by the end of Q4 this year, you can set subgoals such as:

• Upload first YouTube video by X date.
• Publish 250 blog posts by X date.
• Host 25 webinars by X date.

Create a Visual Representation

Now, let’s move to the part where you will actually materialize your action plan. Creating a visual representation of the action plan is the best way to engage your team so that everyone knows the plan well.

But designing an action plan from scratch is not an easy task. Visme is there to help you design the action plan without stressing yourself out for the design part. Follow the steps below to visualize your action plan.

Pick a Template

Monitor the Progress

Track your progress regularly and ensure that each step in your action plan is completed on time. You can use an internal reporting system or hold regular meetings to track progress. Mark tasks that are completed as done on the action plan to bring them to the attention of your team members.

This will help you better understand the pending or delayed tasks for which you need to find solutions. Finally, keep updating the action plan regularly according to your progress. With Dynamic Fields , it's easy to keep your action plan, and all other projects, updated. Once you input data into a dynamic field, it will change across all projects it’s used in.

Product details

An action item is a discrete task that must be accomplished, usually by a single individual or a small team or group. Action items typically arise from meetings and should always be clearly documented. Most people overestimate how well they are likely to remember things. As a result, they may commit themselves to an action item, write a sketchy shorthand note about it and later wonder what it means. One way to prevent that scenario is ensuring that action items are expressed as full sentences. It is also important to ensure that all crucial details are included, such as task deadlines, the responsible party and any consequent action items that are expected to arise from the original one. Action items arising from another are sometimes referred to as relay items.

Whenever we talk about the action item, there are three W’s that are considered in it. These are Who, What, and When. Who? The action item for this task will make clear that the specific task is assigned to that specific person. What? This is because this is the description that will tell the person what he is needed to perform for the task. This not only needs to be clear, but it also needs to be short and to the point so that there are no ambiguities left. When? This is the time that is allowed for the task to be completed. Sometimes it is called the deadline for the project. Although an action item seems to be a very simple thing to make it is not that simple.

The Action Item Template consists of four slides that contain all the tools you need to build a professional presentation. You can present your data in tables and indicate the percentage completion for each task using horizontal charts. You can also prioritize each task and choose the desired colour for each of them. This presentation of data helps to immediately determine what stage the project is at and which tasks need to be addressed first. For example, team leaders and product owners can use this template during their weekly meeting to discuss customer product development. Also, this template will be useful for construction companies and architectural firms. You can use the slides of this template to control construction work at home in different areas of work. Also, this template can be used by heads of departments when preparing a report for the director of the company on the work of the department.

The secret to making meetings more productive is accountability. With this action item template, you can improve the overall efficiency of meetings and ensure proper follow-up from your teams. Perfect for all industries, this PowerPoint template includes a tracking ID for each action item, assigned owners, start and due dates. With its clear colour coding system, you can prioritize tasks, rate level of effort and difficulty, and seamlessly change status of each action item. You can also add personalized notes and comments for each task.

Ideal for project managers, team leads and scrum masters, you’ll find this template easy to update and flexible to customize. For executive meetings and quarterly reporting, this template tells a clear, concise and visual story that’s easy to follow along for senior stakeholders. No matter the complexity of your project, size of your team or scope of budget, this template is useful in helping you and your team stay organized, and ensure on-time delivery of projects.

A Complete Guide On How To Present An Action Plan

Editor - SlideModel

An action plan is a list of tasks, sequences, and resources, one would need to carry out a given objective.

Action plans are crucial for any organization’s success. They are used for strategic planning and for effective reality checks. They ensure that everything is properly organized to achieve the task within the desired deadline and properly.

Advantages Of Creating Action Plans

• Action plans help with the smooth flow of communication strategies and make directions clear.
• They ensure objectives have a feasible implementation plan and nothing is fizzled out.
• They break down the objectives into small, graspable, and achievable goals.
• Action plans involve checklists that include a list of resources needed to achieve the goal.
• They set realistic expectations so that people working on the project can definitely and properly achieve the given task.
• They set timelines, pre-conditional planning, and detailed descriptions to monitor and execute strategies properly.

Elements Of An Action Plan: In-Depth Guide

Let’s learn the structure of an action plan and how that helps the given objective.

1. Describe Your Objective

Define the purpose behind your objective and the strategy that you would take to achieve it. Be as elaborate as possible so that you can find loopholes in your plan. Break down the vision further by adding more steps. The more detailed your outline is, the better it would become.

2. Breakdown Tasks

Split down your observations into tasks. Envision the actions that must be taken to reach the goal. Regardless of the size of the goal, you may need to divide it into subcategories or stages before identifying the actions required. Be thorough with this list to avoid any unexpected stumbling blocks in the process.

3. Assign Responsibilities

Assign people their job roles so that everyone in your team knows what their job is. This will also help you delegate tasks and simplify the overall process.

4. Set Milestones

Ensure you indicate when each of the preceding tasks should be finished, taking evaluation and modification time into consideration. If you’ve divided your plan of action into stages, then set milestones for each step in your action plan. To discover bottlenecks, be careful to specify precedence and preconditions.

5. Create Resource List

Consider who you’ll need and what resources you’ll need to perform each activity. Understanding the scope and breadth of the activity requires resource analysis. This is an important stage for getting a grip on reality.

6. Progress Metrics

There is no such thing as a finished plan before progress and accomplishment metrics are identified. Work activities, benchmarks, and long-term goals will each have its own methods for measuring performance and accomplishment. Develop this from the start so that you can perform the necessary monitoring and management.

How To Ensure Your Action Plan Works Properly?

1. visualize your action plan.

You cannot emphasize how important it is to visualize your overall plan of action. It is easier to follow a plan that can be seen visually. You can’t measure numbers when they are just written integers. You can measure results when they are in a pictorial format. You can visualize your action plan by using action plan PowerPoint templates.

2. Create SMART Goals

What does SMART stand for?

Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely. This means that your goals should have specific and realistic results. SMART goals are based on the OKR approach or Objective Key-Results. This approach allows you to create actionable objectives first and then break them down into achievable results.

For example, if you plan to bring traffic to your website. The objective should be, to reach 1000 users per month by the year-end. This means you should break that down into 200 users per month in the first quarter, 500 users per month in the second quarter, and 800 users per month by the third quarter. So on and so forth.

3. Involve Your Tea In Planning Process

It is not just the job of the manager to create the plan. If the team is not involved in the planning process, you can’t expect them to deliver the work on time. All must be aware of their respective tasks and functions. Teams and individuals must sign off on assignments and accept their timelines . This will help with accountability in the long run. If any of the scheduled actions are in danger of not being completed, this should be discovered and examined as soon as feasible. This is only possible when there is a mid-plan review in place. Teams that are lagging behind on their objectives can improve overall working with this approach.

4. Break Objectives Into Milestones

Milestones are checkpoints used for reviewing the overall progress of the deliverables or goals. Milestones allow teams to check their progress and if the work is client-based, then to get the client to review the teamwork. In each data-centric organization, milestones help with better planning, project management , and approvals.

5. Review The Plan

The best way to review your plan is to conduct a review meeting. You will invite your team members to review the report and provide their feedback. They should have a clear understanding of the project outcomes, deadines, their responsibilities, and overall milestones. The action plan should be easy to monitor. It is even better if the KPIs are prominently added so that all stakeholders involved can see the process.

6. Monitor & Measure Progress

It is time to implement the action plan.

The action plan will be implemented in phases. You will have to constantly check with the team for issues with implementation. Each objective will be monitored to see if it meets the desired outcome. You can start with the basic KPIs but gradually add more metrics to ensure everything is properly monitored.

These are all the steps that you would need to create an objective-focused action plan.

That being said, action plans are there to organize your efforts and create a clear strategy. They are great for performance monitoring and getting things in check.

However, action plans cannot solve all problems of the plan. They can pinpoint the issue that may be causing problems though, this can be lack of performance, unskilled labor, or anything similar. Mid-plan reviews will ensure that these bottlenecks are removed for the smooth flow of the organizational processes.

Now that you know everything about action plans, it is time to create your own with the help of the right action plan template .

How to Plan a Presentation

Last Updated: July 22, 2024 Fact Checked

He received his PhD in English Literature and Medieval Studies from the University of Texas at Austin in 2014.

Presentation planning is a useful and necessary skill in the professional world as well as school. Whether you need to sell a product, or get a passing grade in your class, planning a presentation takes time and dedication. You will want to figure out the best way to construct your material, considering your audience and your presentation's message. From there, work on building your slides and materials. Assemble information in a logical order that best illustrates your point. Practice your presentation regularly before delivering it. This can help you figure out any information that should be cut or restructured.

Assembling Your Best Material

• Write down your most important points. See if you notice a key point emerging. If your audience were to take away one thing from this presentation, what would it be?
• Don't just bombard your audience with facts. Think about what these facts do for your audience. What's the point you're trying to make with the information?

• Are you trying to sell them a product, introduce them to a new idea, alter their way of thinking?
• Think about the kind of people in your audience. Do you have a tougher crowd, or do you have a group of enthusiastic people excited about what you're going to say?

• For example, if you're talking to a company about recycling program, you might discuss how corporate pollution contributes to global warming and how recycling can help the company save money. You wouldn't discuss the melting ice caps as a key point.
• Melting ice caps are a valid concern, but they are a fact or a supporting point.

• Add clarity to your argument by explaining anything the audience may not understand. For example: a brief overview of pollution's effect on climate change.
• Add authority by making connections with existing research, studies, and information. For example, you could mention the consensus in the scientific community that global warming is manmade and cite a few studies.
• Add color to your argument through visuals, like pictures and videos. For instance, you could show a chart of the amount of waste an average corporation produces in one month.

Finding a Trajectory for the Presentation

• Include the basics of introducing yourself. You can say something like, "I'm Clara Thompson from Clean Water Action, and I would like to address your company today."
• Get your audience's attention with a question or a fact. For example, you could ask: "Have you ever passed a body of water covered in green sludge and wondered how this happened? The answer may surprise you."
• You don’t have to write your presentation in chronological order. If you want to work on your main points first and save the introduction for last, you can.

• For example, you're trying to get the corporation to alter their recycling program. Start by overviewing the vast amount of corporate pollution in the world.
• Explain the consequences of this. Show how pollution contributes to climate change, then show what the corporation can do through changes in their policies.

• Common linking statements include things like, "Another important issue...," "Based on this data, you can now see..." and, "This brings me to my main point..."
• For example, "Now that I've shown you the effects of corporate pollution, this brings me to my main point. What can you do to stop it?"

• If you have any graphs or diagrams that will help illustrate your point, use them. Physically seeing information can help make your point more clear.
• You should also see if there are any videos you can include. A brief video of someone succinctly explaining an issue can shake things up a bit.
• Pictures are also nice. Each slide should have a picture related to the topic at hand.
• Make sure not to overuse graphics or visuals. Too many could be overwhelming or distracting for your audience.

• You only need one slide. Recap what your point was. Begin with something like, "As you can see..." and then briefly repeat your main point.
• A visual can help as well. Try adding one last visual aid that sums up your point. A graph or diagram would work well here.

Practicing Your Presentation

• If you're taking longer, cut some information out. You do not want to talk fast to include all information, as this can make you difficult to understand.
• For accuracy, talk in your regular voice. Do not speak too fast or too slow. You want to make sure you can fit in all information talking at a normal rate.

• Are any facts extraneous? It's great to illustrate the effects of global warming, but do you really need five examples of environmental decay? Try to cut it down to two or three.

• You should sound enthusiastic when presenting. Talk without hesitance, and don't use filler words, like "um" or "uh."
• Don't jump between topics. Use your linking sentences, and say things like, "And this brings me to the following..."
• Watch the time. Make sure your presentation isn't going on for too long.
• Watch yourself give the presentation in a mirror so you can correct any distracting movements or gestures.

• Don’t read the information off of your visuals since it could affect your engagement between yourself and the audience.

3. Relevant content

Make sure your content aligns with their interests and needs. Your audience is there for a reason, and that’s to get valuable insights. Avoid fluff and get straight to the point, your audience will be genuinely excited.

4. Effective visual aids

Picture this: a slide with walls of text and tiny charts, yawn! Visual aids should be just that—aiding your presentation. Opt for clear and visually appealing slides, engaging images and informative charts that add value and help reinforce your message.

With Venngage, visualizing data takes no effort at all. You can import data from CSV or Google Sheets seamlessly and create stunning charts, graphs and icon stories effortlessly to showcase your data in a captivating and impactful way.

A great presentation background is also essential as it sets the tone, creates visual interest and reinforces your message. Enhance the overall aesthetics of your presentation with these 15 presentation background examples and captivate your audience’s attention.

Pace your presentation thoughtfully with well-designed presentation slides, neither rushing through nor dragging it out. Respect your audience’s time and ensure you cover all the essential points without losing their interest.

8. Fine-tune and polish your presentation

Positive body language instantly captivates your audience, making them believe in your message as much as you do. Strengthen your stage presence and own that stage like it’s your second home! Stand tall, shoulders back and exude confidence. 

2. Eye contact with the audience

Break down that invisible barrier and connect with your audience through their eyes. Maintaining eye contact when giving a presentation builds trust and shows that you’re present and engaged with them.

3. Effective use of hand gestures and movement

A little movement goes a long way! Emphasize key points with purposeful gestures and don’t be afraid to walk around the stage. Your energy will be contagious!

4. Utilize storytelling techniques

Weave the magic of storytelling into your presentation. Share relatable anecdotes, inspiring success stories or even personal experiences that tug at the heartstrings of your audience. Adjust your pitch, pace and volume to match the emotions and intensity of the story. Varying your speaking voice adds depth and enhances your stage presence.

5. Incorporate multimedia elements

Spice up your presentation with a dash of visual pizzazz! Use slides, images and video clips to add depth and clarity to your message. Just remember, less is more—don’t overwhelm them with information overload. 

Turn your presentations into an interactive party! Involve your audience with questions, polls or group activities. When they actively participate, they become invested in your presentation’s success. Bring your design to life with animated elements. Venngage allows you to apply animations to icons, images and text to create dynamic and engaging visual content.

6. Utilize humor strategically

Laughter is the best medicine—and a fantastic presentation enhancer! A well-placed joke or lighthearted moment can break the ice and create a warm atmosphere , making your audience more receptive to your message.

7. Practice active listening and respond to feedback

Be attentive to your audience’s reactions and feedback. If they have questions or concerns, address them with genuine interest and respect. Your responsiveness builds rapport and shows that you genuinely care about their experience.

8. Apply the 10-20-30 rule

Apply the 10-20-30 presentation rule and keep it short, sweet and impactful! Stick to ten slides, deliver your presentation within 20 minutes and use a 30-point font to ensure clarity and focus. Less is more, and your audience will thank you for it!

9. Implement the 5-5-5 rule

Simplicity is key. Limit each slide to five bullet points, with only five words per bullet point and allow each slide to remain visible for about five seconds. This rule keeps your presentation concise and prevents information overload.

Simple presentations are more engaging because they are easier to follow. Summarize your presentations and keep them simple with Venngage’s gallery of simple presentation templates and ensure that your message is delivered effectively across your audience.

Plan a Presentation for Success – 8 steps

September 03, 2023

Too many people, when they hear the word presentation, reach for their computer and switch to PowerPoint. That’s because they feel they are making progress creating visual aids.

They pull information together, they lay out by making powerpoint presentation slides and admire their handiwork. only then do they try to tell a story., this is not the right way for planning your business presentation..

“Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.” Alexander Graham Bell

What to do instead: Plan you presentation using a story, a script and a plan

The process for presentation planning should be more like that of movie making. When you make a movie you only start filming at the end of the planning process. Before filming you must have a story, a script and a plan.  It should be the same when planning a presentation.

The better you plan a presentation, the easier it is to be successful. At first, it may feel frustrating that you are not writing slides. You may spent hours staring into space or doing research. But investing in proper presentation planning will pay back many times over.

In the end by planning your presentation properly you will spend less time writing PowerPoint slides. You will spend less time editing and you will spend less time searching for a way to link the sections of your PowerPoint presentation together. You’ll also discover that practising and rehearsing is easier. You’ll learn these skills with our presentation coaching .

“There are three things that are important for a film. Number one is story, number two is story, number three is story. Good actors can save a bad script and make it bearable, but good actors can’t make a bad script good – they can just make it bearable.” Mark Strickson, TV producer & actor

Your 8-Step Presentation Plan

Let’s explore each of these presentation planning steps, one by one.

1. Start by using the AIM approach in your presentation plan

What is the first step in planning a presentation? AIM is an easy-to-apply first step so that your presentations are easier to prepare.

What typically goes wrong. Most people create presentations without proper planning. They start writing slides before they have decided what they really want to say and what are important points.

Why is it important to plan a presentation?  Without an effective presentation plan you waste time and energy.   

What to do instead. It’s a good idea to use AIM . Start with a blank sheet of paper and write the three letters A.I.M. across the top. In each of these columns start writing what you know about A: Audience , I: Your intent , (or Purpose) and M: your take-away Message .

See the next three paragraphs for more detail on A, I and M.

“Proper planning prevents poor performance” James Baker, former US Secretary of State

2. Identify your AUDIENCE and what they need

Shortcut Summary : Your audience, not you, should be centre of attention in any successful presentation. The better you understand your audience members, the better your talk will be.

What typically goes wrong : When people give presentations about their latest project, they talk about their latest project. If they are reporting quarterly results, they report quarterly results. If they are speaking about their new business, they tell the audience about their new business. If explaining a new piece of regulation, they talk about elements of that regulation.

The problem with this approach is you are not including your audience in your talk. And if you don’t include your audience, you will lose audience attention.

Why does this matter?  Audiences are selfish. They like being talked about.

What to do instead. Your talk should be about what your main points mean for the audience. For example these are good titles for a presentation:

• “What you can learn from our latest project.”
• “Our quarterly results and what they mean for your department next quarter.”
• “How our new business can make you money.”
• “What the new regulations mean for you and your clients”

To do this, you must understand your audience. That means asking questions about them and getting under their skin. For example, some questions you may have could include:

ABOUT BACKGROUND

• Who is coming to this talk?
• What common reference points can I use?
• What experiences have they shared?
• What are your audience’s needs?

ABOUT MOTIVATION

• Why are they coming?
• What problems do they have?
• What do they need and want?
• What will make life easy for them?

ABOUT EXPECTATIONS

• What would they like me to talk about?
• What would victory feel like for them?
• What will make them sit up?

ABOUT CONNECTING

• What can I say that will show them I am on their side?
• What stories will resonate?
• How can I add value?

ABOUT EMOTIONAL POSITION

• What frame of mind will they be in?
• What should I avoid talking about?
• What will make them feel good?
• What can I say at the start to win them over?

ABOUT MAKING IT EASY FOR THEM

• What specific language should I use?
• How should I position what I am talking about for this audience?
• What phrases will resonate?

The more you learn about your audience, the better you know them and the better you can plan your talk for them.

“Designing a presentation without an audience in mind is like writing a love letter and addressing it: To Whom It May Concern.” Ken Haemer, presentation designe r

• Before any talk, analyse your audience members.
• Research them.
• Make sure you really know them and their needs before you start planning what to say.

C all us today and discuss how our presentation skills coaching can show you the best way to plan your presentations. You’ll save time and same money.

3. Clarify your INTENT: what you are trying to achieve

Summary : Decide early the intent or purpose of the presentation. This will help you direct your efforts to achieve your goals.

What typically goes wrong : “I’m going to talk about…” is a typical answer to the question “Why are you doing this talk?” But talking about something is of no use to anyone. It is pointless.

For example, these are NOT a goal for your presentation:

• “I’m talking about our new project”
• “I’m talking about the new regulations”
• “A pitch about our new fund”
• “An introduction to ABCX co”
• “Monthly board report”

Why does this matter? For a talk to work it requires a clear purpose. When you know the objective of your presentation you can harness your talk to achieve just that.

What to do instead : Decide your intent. For example, when I asked a Chief Financial Officer recently what was the purpose of the presentation, he was clear: he said that he “Wanted to look like the next CEO of this business.” This clear purpose made it easy to help him prepare what he said, how he said it and how he positioned himself.

More examples of a good intent:

• A Lawyer, when giving a talk about new regulations , was clear that she wanted “to help companies use the new regulations to run better, more profitable businesses”.
• An HR director who was introducing a new expense system was clear that her intent was to “get people to use the new system by next month so they can get paid faster and with less effort.’
• A fund manager who was pitching a first time fund to new investors had a clear intent of “getting onto their radar screens and securing a second meeting”
• A company looking for a trade buyer had crystallised their intent into “creating excitement about the potential value of buying this business and demonstrate the risk of others buying it.”
• An accountant at a well known firm had the intent with his monthly board reports to “Get them to recognise the value my team adds.”

Having a clear intent will make it easier for you to plan your presentation. Identifying that intent is also one of the harder parts of planning a talk.

“A talk is a voyage with purpose and it must be charted. The man who starts out going nowhere, generally gets there.” Dale Carnegie

• Be absolutely clear on the objective of your presentation.
• Summarise your specific purpose in one line
• Use your intent as your North Star to guide everything you say and how you say it.

4. Write your one big take-away key MESSAGE

Summary : Your presentation needs a take-away message . This means one simple message so when someone asks “What was that talk about?” a listener can confidently answer.

What typically goes wrong : Many presentations have titles such as:

• “Quarterly strategy report”
• “Project X”
• “Manufacturing update”
• “Annual results”

These are all topics, not messages

Why does this matter? These titles don’t help the audience. They only tell them something they already know. With a topic title you miss the opportunity of preparing your audience and getting them in the right mindset to be ready for your talk.

What to do instead when you plan a presentation: Identify a message that summarises your key points that you can use as its title. Keep improving the title until it properly captures what you want to say. For example:

• “Our strategy remains on track”
• “Launching Project X by December could double revenues next year”
• “Manufacturing: three problems we must address”
• “Profits up 5% this year despite Covid headwinds”

Then test your title on other people. Check if it grabs your audience’s attention and generates the reaction you want.

“If you can’t write your idea on the back of my calling card, you don’t have a clear idea.” David Belasco, theatre producer

Next Steps in planning a presentation

• Decide the title of your talk early.
• Check it generates the reaction you want.
• Use this to build the rest of your talk.
• Re-test your message against A.I.M.

5. Agree the three parts of your talk

Summary : Your brain Is naturally tuned to hearing things in sets of three . If you can break the content of your presentation into three parts then it’s more likely to be a success.

What typically goes wrong : Many presentations are like shopping lists: covering multiple topics and jumping from one idea to the next.

Why does this matter? In the end, a huge amount of information has been transmitted but little has been received.

What to do instead : Less is more in a presentation. Help your audience by giving them a structure. When you plan a presentation, a three part structure is one of the most useful planning shortcuts that you can use.

Once you are completely clear about your intent and your message, start developing a three part structure for your talk. For example, if I wanted to give a talk that shared advice on how to present, I would consider using one of the following structures:

• Mistakes other people make / Tips you can use / How to become a great speaker
• How to define your messages / How to structure your talk / How to deliver your talk
• What bad looks like / what good looks like / what you can do differently

“ In writing and speaking, three is more satisfying than any other number.” Carmine Gallo, author

• Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness
• Liberté, égalité, fraternité ;
• A Mars a day helps you work, rest and play;
• Stop, Look and Listen;
• Faster, Higher, Stronger;
• Veni, vidi, vici ;
• “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil”
• Find your three part structure early.
• Use the structure to focus your efforts and guide your planning

6 . Presentation planning – What is your story?

Summary: Use a story to underpin your talk. No matter how dry your subject, when you use a story you will make it more memorable and more effective.

What typically goes wrong As an expert, a typical presenter wants to share knowledge.

For example: A few years ago, I helped a lawyer give a talk to investors. This audience consisted of private equity executives who sat on their investee company boards. The subject was the 2006 Companies Act and the Duties and Responsibilities of a Company Director. A dry subject.

In her first draft, she reviewed sections of the Act and highlighted problems that directors may face. For example, “Section 172 of the Act, sets out your overarching duties as a director. You must act in the way you consider, in good faith, would be most likely to promote the success of the company for the benefit of its members as a whole.”

As you can imagine, it was not the most exciting of talks.

Why does this matter? A precise talk may not be an interesting talk. Your job as a presenter is to make the talk interesting and easy for your audience.

What to do instead Find a story that fits what you want to talk about.

For example, for the investor director talk above, we decided to title the talk “How to keep your nose clean and yourself out of jail” Then the talk was based around a series of situations that anyone in the audience might face. She did not refer to any particular section of the Companies Act at all. Her text was:

“Imagine this situation. You turn up for a board meeting. You are a 10% shareholder and you are a director. At that board meeting the CEO announces that the company is near bankrupt and needs more funding. What should you do? Do you absent yourself, having a connected interest. Or do you declare your interest as a shareholder? Or do you carry as normal assuming business as usual?”

By framing it as a story you involve your audience and you make it easier for them to process what you say.

“Sometimes reality is too complex. Stories give it form.” Jean Luc Godard, film director

• Find stories to tell, narratives to bring your facts to life.
• Tell the story behind the numbers.
• The dryer your subject matter, the more important stories become.

7. How to plan your presentation – Have you asked WHY?

Summary : ‘Why’ comes before ‘What’ comes before ‘How’

What typically goes wrong : When a speaker knows a subject well, it is easy for them to assume knowledge and talk about the nuances of what they know. I often describe this as the ‘How’ of a subject.

For example, when speaking about a new engine you have developed, you might say that you made the pistons more accurately, that you mix petrol more precisely and you have added a new technique of managing engine performance.

Why does this matter? This is one of the most common mistakes that experts make when giving talks. They spend too much time explaining HOW something works, rather than explaining WHAT it is they are talking about and WHY it is important.

What to do instead : “We have designed a more efficient car engine that will get 100 miles to the gallon.”

“Start with Why” Simon Sinek

• Ask yourself “So What?” to everything you say
• Check that you are clear why the audience will be interested.
• Imagine someone in the audience asking “What’s in it for me?” (WIIFM)

8. Create a 90 second summary of your presentation

Summary : The best way to plan your presentation is by speaking a c 100-200 word summary of your presentation. This rule of thumb summary will test the rigour of your thinking, the clarity of your key message and the robustness of your plan.

What typically goes wrong : The average poor presentation meanders from topic to topic and is more like a data dump than a well organised talk. It is rich in information but poor in story, structure and planning. It will be hard to summarise that talk easily.

Why does this matter? Lack of planning = Lack of story = Hard for your audience.

What to do instead : Create a short summary of your talk to test your thinking

• You can use your summary early in your presentation planning to test your ideas.
• If you are working with colleagues you can share your thinking using your summary.
• If you are planning a presentation for someone else, you can share your summary to test their reaction.
• If someone else is preparing your presentation, you can use a summary to check they are on track.

Creating a summary is one of the most powerful ways to plan a presentation and will save you a huge amount of wasted time.

“If you can’t write your message in a sentence, you can’t say it in an hour.” Dianna Booher, Autho r

Next Steps for Presentation Planning

• Test your ideas with a short summary.
• Use a critical audience.
• If it is not tight enough, keep refining your summary.

Summary – how to plan a presentation for success

Start by planning, not by writing. This may feel counter intuitive, but you’ll make progress faster.

How do you plan a presentation for success? Try these steps:

• Use AIM as the first stage of preparing any talk
• A – Audience: Analyse your audience and understand their needs
• I – Intent: Be clear on the single purpose of your talk.
• M – Message: Decide your one take-away message from your talk
• Decide the three parts of your talk
• Create and perfect a 90 second summary of your talk before fleshing it out
• Answer the WHY questions in your talk before the WHAT or HOW questions.
• Imagine your audience asking So What? and What’s in it for me? throughout.
• Check your talk summary against your Audience, Intent and Message.

How to Write an Action Plan: Step-by-Step (Examples)

By Status.net Editorial Team on November 9, 2023 — 9 minutes to read

An action plan is a detailed roadmap of the necessary steps you need to take to achieve a specific goal or objective. It’s like a GPS that guides you from your starting point to your desired destination. Creating an action plan helps you break down a large goal into smaller, more manageable tasks, which makes the goal feel less overwhelming.

To start, you should first identify your end goal and be as specific as possible. For example, if you want to increase sales for your business, set a target like “Increase sales by 20% within the next six months.” This will give you a clear vision of what you want to achieve and make it easier to measure your progress.

Next, list the necessary actions or tasks required to reach your goal. These can be further divided into smaller tasks that are easy to understand and implement. For example, to increase sales, you could:

• Improve your online presence by revamping your website, optimizing it for search engines, and posting regularly on social media platforms.
• Reach out to potential clients through email campaigns and cold calls.
• Offer promotions or discounts to incentivize new customers to try your product or service.

Now, it’s time to set a timeline for each task. Deadlines will enable you to monitor your progress and stay on track. Assign realistic due dates for each task, and if needed, break them down into smaller milestones.

To ensure your action plan’s success, make sure to assign responsibility for each task. If you’re working with a team, delegate tasks according to each team member’s strengths, skills, and workload. This will help ensure everyone knows what their responsibilities are, and they are held accountable.

Lastly, always monitor your progress and evaluate your action plan’s effectiveness. Regularly review the tasks you’ve accomplished, and make note of the tasks that were challenging or required more time than anticipated. This self-assessment will help you improve your action plan and make necessary adjustments as you work towards your goal.

Example Action Plan

Goal : Increase sales by 20% within the next 6 months (By January 1st, 2025)

Actions : 1. Improve online presence a) Revamp website design – Due October 15th b) Optimize website for SEO – Due November 1st c) Post regularly on social media (1x/week min) – Ongoing

2. Reach out to potential clients a) Create email marketing campaign – Due September 15th b) Start cold calling campaign (10 calls/day) – Start October 1st

3. Offer promotions a) Design promotion flyers – Due September 1st b) Run month-long 20% off sale – October 1-31st

Monitoring : – Check website analytics weekly – Track new clients monthly – Evaluate sales figures monthly – Adjust plan as needed at monthly meetings

Responsibilities : – John to revamp website – Susan to handle social media – Michael to create promotions – Jennifer to manage outreach campaigns

Steps to Creating a Powerhouse Action Plan

First, identify your goal . Be specific about what you want to achieve and set a time frame for accomplishing it. This will help keep your efforts focused and prevent you from getting overwhelmed by smaller tasks. For example, instead of “increase sales”, choose “increase sales by 20% in the next six months”.

Next, break your goal down into smaller, manageable tasks . Create a list of activities or steps that must be completed in order to reach your goal. If your goal is to Increase sales by 20%, some tasks might be:

• Research your target market
• Develop a marketing strategy
• Improve product offerings
• Train your sales team

Assign a deadline and responsible party for each task on your list. This will help ensure that all tasks are completed on time and that everyone knows their role in achieving the goal. Make sure to set realistic timelines for each task, taking into consideration the resources and time available.

Here’s an example:

• Research your target market – due in one week – assigned to Jane (marketing specialist)
• Develop a marketing strategy – due in two weeks – assigned to marketing team

Monitor your progress regularly. Keep track of your progress by using tools such as calendars, project management software, or a simple spreadsheet. Regularly assess whether you’re on track to meet your goal and adjust your action plan if needed. For example, if a task is taking longer than expected, you may need to reassign resources or revise the deadline.

Celebrate your milestones and learn from setbacks . Along the way, take the time to acknowledge and celebrate your successes, as well as learn from any setbacks or challenges. This will help maintain motivation and encourage continuous improvement.

Finally, communicate your action plan to all stakeholders involved, such as employees, investors, or clients. Clear communication ensures everyone understands the goal, their responsibilities, and the expectations for the project.

Defining Clear and Smart Goals

Specific goals.

When creating your action plan, start by setting specific goals. These are clear, well-defined goals that leave no room for ambiguity. You should know exactly what needs to be accomplished and how you plan to achieve it. For example, instead of aiming for “increasing sales,” set a goal like “increase sales by 15% over the next six months.”

Measurable Goals

Your goals should be measurable so that you can track your progress and know when you’ve achieved them. This involves identifying quantifiable indicators that will help you determine your progress. For instance, if your goal is to increase sales, a measurable component can be the number of units sold or the amount of revenue generated within a specific timeframe.

Achievable Goals

When setting goals, make sure they are achievable and realistic based on your current resources and constraints. Consider your team’s capabilities, time, and budget. Unattainable goals may negatively impact your motivation and morale. For example, if you have a small team with limited resources, setting a goal to double your company’s size within a month might be unrealistic. Instead, aim for a modest yet challenging growth rate that can be achieved with your available resources.

Relevant Goals

Your action plan goals should also be relevant to your organization’s mission and vision. These are goals that align with your overall strategic plan and contribute to its long-term success. Relevant goals ensure that your efforts are focused on high-impact areas and avoid unnecessary distractions. For example, if your business is focused on sustainability, a relevant goal might be to reduce your company’s carbon footprint by 20% in the next year.

Time-bound Goals

Finally, ensure that your goals are time-bound, meaning they have a deadline for completion. Deadlines keep your team accountable and help maintain a sense of urgency, which is crucial for staying on track and achieving your objectives. A clear timeframe also allows you to measure your progress and adjust your plans as needed. For instance, you could set a goal to expand your customer base by 10% within the next quarter.

Assigning Roles and Responsibilities

When creating an action plan, it’s important to assign roles and responsibilities to your team members. This helps ensure tasks are completed efficiently and everyone is clear about their duties. Here’s how to do it effectively:

• First, identify the necessary tasks to achieve your goal. Be specific about what needs to be done and break it down into smaller steps if needed. For example, if your action plan involves promoting a new product, tasks could include designing promotional materials, creating social media posts, and reaching out to potential partners.
• Next, evaluate the skills and expertise of your team members. Consider their strengths, weaknesses, and past experiences with similar projects. This will help you match team members with tasks that best suit their abilities. For instance, someone with graphic design expertise should be responsible for creating promotional materials.
• Once you’ve determined which team members are best suited for each task, clearly communicate their roles and responsibilities. This can be done through a project management tool, an email, or a team meeting. Make sure everyone is aware of their duties and the deadlines for each task.
• Keep track of everyone’s progress, and hold regular check-ins to see how each team member is doing with their assigned tasks.
• Be open to adjusting your action plan and roles as necessary. Sometimes, unforeseen challenges can arise and require you to modify your plan.

Creating a Time Frame

When working on your action plan, it’s important to establish a realistic time frame for achieving your goals. This helps you stay on track and prioritize tasks effectively. We will walk you through the process of creating a time frame for your action plan.

• First, break down your primary goal into smaller, manageable tasks. Think of these tasks as stepping stones that will lead you toward your overall objective. For example, if your goal is to start a new business, your tasks might include researching your target market, establishing a budget, and developing a marketing strategy.
• Next, assign a deadline to each task. Deadlines should be specific and set in stone but make sure to be flexible enough to adjust as necessary. Use a calendar or planner to visualize your timeline, marking important dates and milestones. For example, you could set a four-month deadline for completing market research and a six-month deadline for securing initial funding.
• To keep yourself accountable, set reminders or notifications for important deadlines. This can be done using digital tools like smartphone apps or traditional methods, such as sticky notes on your workspace. Regularly reviewing your progress and adjusting your time frame when needed will help you stay on track.
• Lastly, consider any external factors that might impact your time frame. Are there seasonal events, holidays, or industry-specific deadlines that could affect your ability to complete tasks? Factor in these considerations as you build your timeline.

Resource Allocation

When creating an action plan, resource allocation plays a major role. You’ll need to determine the resources required for each task and how they’ll be distributed among team members. This usually includes time, budget, and human resources.

• Start by estimating the time each task will take. Break tasks down into smaller chunks and allocate a specific deadline to each. This will help you prioritize tasks and balance workloads for your team members. For example, if designing a marketing campaign takes four weeks, divide it into weekly tasks like conducting market research, creating promotional materials, and setting up advertisements.
• Next, determine the budget needed to complete your project. Identify any expenses such as salaries, equipment, software, and project-related costs like travel. Create a budget for each task to avoid overspending, and allocate funds accordingly. Using our marketing campaign example, allocate separate budgets for market research tools, graphic design tools, and advertising platforms.
• Lastly, allocate human resources to tasks based on their skills and expertise. Delegate responsibilities to your team members, ensuring that everyone has a clear understanding of their role in the project. If needed, identify additional hires or outside consultants to fill gaps in your team’s expertise. For instance, if your team lacks graphic design experience, consider hiring a graphic designer or outsourcing the work to a design agency.

How to Write an Action Plan (Example Included)

You’re likely eager to meet your goals, whether they’re personal or professional. Without an action plan, however, there’s no roadmap on how to get there. This is where a well-designed plan can make it easier to track and meet your goals.

What Is an Action Plan?

In project management , an action plan is a document that lists the action steps needed to achieve project goals and objectives. Therefore, it clarifies what resources you’ll need to reach those goals, makes a timeline for the action items and determines what team members are required. We’ll define what project goals, project objectives, action items and action steps are later in this guide.

An action plan is similar to a project implementation plan, and it’s very helpful during the project planning and project execution phases. That’s because an action plan documents the execution of the project plan; it’s a detailed list of the work that must be done to complete the project goals, from the start of the project to the finish.

Not only are you figuring out the action steps and timeline, but you’ll also determine who you’ll assemble for your project team to work on those tasks. This requires robust project management software like ProjectManager . ProjectManager offers multiple planning tools such as Gantt charts, kanban boards, project calendars and more. Best of all, these project planning views sync with project dashboards, timesheets and workload charts to keep track of progress, project resources and costs.

What Is the Purpose of an Action Plan?

The main goal of an action plan is to outline the resources and timeline needed to reach the project’s goals. It helps clarify objectives and provides a clear vision of the desired outcome. As the name suggests, it breaks down the goal into actionable steps and assigns responsibilities, so everyone on the team understands the key deadlines and how resources will be used.

Beyond the logistics, an action plan also provides a framework to track progress and adjust to stay on track. For example, if the goal is to launch a new product by Nov. 1 but market research isn’t finished until Oct. 25th, the plan will need to be adjusted accordingly. If risks develop along the way, contingency plans can mitigate any adverse outcomes. Finally, it provides a basis for measuring success once the goals are achieved.

Who Should Make Action Plans?

While project managers use action plans, other team leaders and business managers who execute a project or a process can also use them. Action plans can be used alone or with a team; in scenarios where the team is involved, the leader will assemble the plan and gather everyone’s input.

Here’s an overview of who should be involved in creation and implementation:

• Project Management Professionals: Project, program and project portfolio managers and project management offices ( PMOs )
• Business Operations Management Teams: Department heads, functional managers and supervisors
• Organizational Planning Teams: Top management team, executives, board of directors and project sponsors

For example, the project manager will develop the action plan to oversee the project from start to finish. This ensures the project is executed on track and within scope. Project sponsors will look over the plan to confirm that it aligns with strategic goals, and stakeholders will use it to stay informed on the overall progress and how it impacts their interests.

Action Plan vs. Project Plan

While action plans and project plans are two important project management tools, they’re used differently. An action plan narrows the steps needed to achieve a particular goal. It’s often used for small tasks or project initiatives. Components of an action plan include tasks, responsibilities, deadlines, resources and status. For example, an action plan for launching a new product includes market research, product development and a plan to launch the product into the market.

A project plan , on the other hand, is an overarching framework of how to manage a project from beginning to end. It‘s broader in scope and covers all areas of the project. Components of the project plan include objectives, scope statement, work breakdown structure (WBS), schedule, budget, risk management plan, communication plan and quality plan.

Action Plan Components

An action plan answers the who, what and when of what you’re proposing. Those questions are answered by the various components that make up the plan. The following are the basic building blocks of a successful plan.

• Goals and Objectives: Before you make any plan, set goals and objectives. It’s key to understand what you are trying to achieve before you start defining steps to get there.
• Action Steps: These steps are the answer to the question of what. They’re the activities that’ll lead to achieving your goal. Steps detail what will happen, and the more detail, the better.
• Action Items: The action items are the specific, small tasks that make up the action plan steps. These are the tasks that, when executed, lead to the next  step. It’s important to define the priority level of these action items as well as the deliverables expected from them.
• Timeline: A  timeline is the whole action plan laid out from start to finish. It shows the full duration and every step and task is also plotted on this timeline, including their start and end dates.
• Resources: Resources are anything needed to execute the action plan. That includes labor, materials, equipment, etc. You’ll want to identify the resources you’ll need and attach them to the tasks to which they’ll be applied.
• Costs: Resources, such as people and equipment, are going to cost money. Be sure to identify the costs that are obvious or hidden deep within your action plan.
• Action Plan Matrix: A matrix is just a tool to help you determine which tasks you need to complete and in what order. Use our free action plan template to outline the steps, items, timeline and resources you’ll need to get the plan done right.
• Action Plan Report: You’ll need to ensure your actual progress matches your planned progress. To track progress, you’ll want to use an action plan report, which is a snapshot of your time, costs and more over a specific period.

Types of Action Plans

There are many different types of action plans that are used on various kinds of strategic initiatives. Each is similar in makeup but differs in their goals. Here are a few of the varieties.

Business Action Plan

A business action plan is used to set goals and tasks when you want to start a business or grow an existing business. It outlines the vision for the business and the actions you’ll take to achieve that vision.

Project Action Plan

An action plan for a project is really no different from a general action plan. The only difference is that it’s about producing a deliverable at the end of the plan, whether that be a product or service.

Personal Action Plan

Again, a personal action plan differs little from any other, except for the goal. For example, a personal action plan might be for an individual to exercise more. Therefore, the goal might be to walk for a half-hour a day, say, during lunchtime.

How to Write an Action Plan for Project Management in 10 Steps

The benefits of an action plan are simple: you’ve now outlined what action steps and what resources are needed to reach your stated project goals. By having this collected in a single project management document, you can more successfully plan out how to execute your project plan.

People get overwhelmed by project management jargon when having to plan out a project, but the word “action” everyone can understand. The fundamentals to getting an action plan together for any project follow these four project planning basic steps:

1. Define Your Project Goals

There’s a difference between project goals and project objectives. Project goals refer to the high-level goals that the project will achieve. Those generally align with the strategic planning and business objectives of organizations.

2. Define Your Project Objectives

The project objectives are much more specific than the project goals. Project objectives refer to the deliverables and milestones that need to be completed to achieve your project goals.

3. Define Action Steps

The action steps are a group of related tasks or action items that must be executed to produce project deliverables.

4. Identify and Prioritize Action Items

Action items are small, individual tasks that make up the action steps that are outlined in your action plan. First, you need to identify task dependencies among them, and then assign those action items a priority level so that they’re executed sequentially.

5. Define Roles & Responsibilities

Now that you’ve divided the work required to accomplish your action plan, you’ll need to assign action items to your project team members and define their roles and responsibilities.

6. Allocate Resources

As with your project plan, your action plan has resource requirements. Having identified your action steps and action items will help you understand what resources are needed for each task and allocate them accordingly.

7. Set SMART Goals

Your action plan needs to be monitored and controlled to measure its performance. That’s why it’s important that you set SMART goals for your action items, action steps and your project objectives. SMART goals stand for specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and timely.

8. Set a Timeline for Your Action Plan

As a project manager, you’ll need to do your best to estimate how long it’ll take to complete your action items and action steps. Once you do so, you’ll have a timeline. You can use project management techniques like PERT charts or the critical path method to better estimate the duration of your project action plan.

9. Write an Action Plan Template

Create or use a simple action plan template to collect tasks, deadlines and assignments. This is the place where everything task-related goes in your project action plan, so you have a place for all this crucial information.

Writing an action plan template it’s a great idea because you’ll need to use that format throughout the project. That’s why we’ve created a free action plan template that you can download. There are also dozens of other free project management templates for Excel and Word that can help you with every phase of your project.

10. Use a Project Management Tool

Use a project management tool to keep you on task. ProjectManager has project planning features that help you monitor and report on project progress and performance. Get a high-level view of the action plan with our live dashboards. Unlike other tools, we don’t make you set up the dashboard.

Once you’ve mapped out your action plan, you can use project planning tools to zoom into all the details about your action steps and action items. With ProjectManager, you can calculate various metrics, such as project variance, workload and more. They’re displayed in easy-to-read charts and graphs. Share them with stakeholders to give them updates on action steps whenever they want.

Action Plan Example

We’ve been talking a lot about action plans, but the best way to learn how they work is to review an action plan example. Below, you’ll see our free action plan template . It’s set up for the development of a website.

Example Goals & Objectives

The first thing to do when making an action plan is to clearly define its goals and objectives. Objectives are the specific accomplishments or outcomes that are needed to achieve the larger goals, as shown in the image below.

Example Action Steps

Then, once these have been defined, the action plan is broken down into four action steps: market research, website development, site launch and site maintenance. You’ll see that specific tasks or action items are outlined for each action step, including a description of that task, who’s assigned to execute it, its priority level and even the status of its completion.

Example Action Plan Timeline

There’s also a timeline to define the start dates of each of the tasks in the action steps, including the planned hours. This allows you to determine the length of each task and the duration of the entire action plan, from start to finish.

Example Resources

Finally, there’s a place to add your resources. They’re broken down into departments, for example, marketing, web development, etc. Then the materials that are required for each task are listed, including their costs. This allows you to estimate the cost of the plan.

Vendredi 19 février 2016 de 9h30 à 12h00 - Présentation du plan d’action pour la mobilité professionnelle franco-allemande par Mme El Khomri, ministre du Travail, de l’Emploi, de la Formation professionnelle et du Dialogue social et Mme Nahles, ministre fédérale du Travail et des Affaires sociales

Au Centre français de Berlin, Müllerstraße 74, 13349 Berlin

La liberté de circulation des travailleurs constitue l’un des fondements de la construction européenne. Elle renforce, au-delà des expériences personnelles (enrichissement culturel et/ou professionnel), le marché du travail européen, en permettant aux travailleurs de développer leurs projets professionnels, de s’adapter aux changements et d’acquérir de nouvelles compétences.

A travers le plan d’action pour la mobilité professionnelle franco-allemande, les gouvernements de la France et de l’Allemagne souhaitent favoriser l’émergence progressive et réelle d’un véritable marché du travail en Europe, en tant qu’expression de la réalité de la libre circulation des travailleurs et en tant que réalisation concrète de l’Europe sociale.

Ce plan d’action est porté par Mme Nahles, ministre allemande du Travail et des Affaires sociales et Mme El Khomri, ministre française du Travail, de l’Emploi, de la Formation professionnelle et du dialogue social.

Présenté le 19 février 2016 au Centre Français de Berlin, en présence de l´Ambassadeur de France en Allemagne et de Mme Kolat, Sénatrice pour le travail, l´intégration et la condition féminine de la Ville de Berlin, il a vocation à se déployer tout au long de l’année 2016 pour devenir un instrument clef de la coopération franco-allemande pour les années à venir.

Ce plan vise à mieux appuyer et accompagner, dans les deux pays, tous les publics qui ont le souhait d’élaborer et de réussir un projet professionnel dans l’État voisin, c´est à dire les travailleurs à tous les âges de la vie et à tous les stades de la formation professionnelle. En effet, les générations de jeunes Européens ne se contentent plus d’aller étudier dans un ou plusieurs pays de l’UE grâce au programme Erasmus. Ils vont désormais s’y installer pour bénéficier d’une expérience professionnelle. D’autres générations d’actifs en milieu ou seconde partie de carrière sont de plus en plus intéressées par de tels projets.

Ce plan d´action se structure autour de trois axes:

• 1 er axe : constituer un vivier de travailleurs français et allemands pouvant être mobiles dans le pays voisin via quatre actions: Action 1 : l’Allemagne et la France considèrent toutes deux que l’apprentissage est une voie de formation privilégiée et encouragent les échanges d’apprentis au sein de grands groupes franco-allemands et européens; Action 2 : l’Office Franco-Allemand pour la Jeunesse (OFAJ) renforce son offre d’accompagnement culturel à la mobilité professionnelle; Action 3 : la Chambre Franco-Allemande de Commerce et d'Industrie de Paris prévoit d’étendre son dispositif de plateforme franco-allemande «écoles-entreprises»; Action 4 : le Secrétariat Franco-Allemand pour les échanges en formation professionnelle (SFA) multiplie les échanges en formation professionnelle dans les deux pays concernant les Centres de formation d’apprentis (CFA).
• 2 ème axe: assurer un accompagnement de la mobilité professionnelle franco-allemande qui se concrétisera par quatre actions: Action 5 : lancement par Pôle emploi d’une offre de service spécifique «Destination Allemagne»; Action 6 : mise en place d’une «équipe virtuelle France» parl’Agence fédérale pour l’emploi ( Bundesagentur für Arbeit ) ; Action 7 : Business France augmente le nombre de volontaires internernationaux en entreprises (V.I.E) en Allemagne ; Action 8 : lancement du nouveau programme de «Recrutement inversé» à destination des professionnels chevronnés par la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie Française en Allemagne (CCFA) basée à Saarebruck; Action 9: la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie du Sud du Rhin supérieur renforce ses actions afin de promouvoir l’apprentissage transfrontalier.
• 3 ème axe : déployer un accompagnement spécifique pour les Français à Berlin qui se déclinera autour de trois actions: Action 10 : organisation d’un petit salon de l’emploi pour les Français à Berlin; Action 11 : lancement de rencontres de partage d’expériences entre les Conseillers du Commerce Extérieur de la France (CCEF) et des jeunes français à Berlin; Action 12 : mise en place de prestations de coaching par la Bundesagentur für Arbeit et le Sénat de Berlin pour les Français au centre français de Berlin.

Ce plan d’action mobilise tous les acteurs de la mobilité franco-allemande pour instaurer une dynamique reposant sur la complémentarité de leur engagement :

• Les deux services publics de l’emploi : la Bundesagentur für Arbeit et Pôle emploi;
• Les acteurs assurant le lien entre les économies des deux pays : l’agence de soutien aux entreprises Business France en Allemagne, les CCEF, la Chambre franco-allemande de Commerce et d’Industrie basée à Paris, la CCFA et le centre d’affaires franco-allemand VillaFrance;
• Les acteurs de la mobilité franco-allemande de la jeunesse : au premier plan bien sûr l´OFAJ mais aussi le SFA;
• Des acteurs régionaux sur des territoires clefs de la coopération franco-allemande : la Chambre de Commerce et d’Industrie du Sud du Rhin supérieur, le Centre Français de Berlin;
• Les grandes entreprises des deux pays : mobilisés tant pour l’action d’échange d’apprentis (Allianz, Airbus, BASF, Bosch, BNP Paribas, Danone, Engie, L’Oréal, Michelin, Siemens, Babilou, Nestlé, Safran) que pour l’action sponsorisée par les entreprises Mazars et Total;
• Les partenaires sociaux des deux pays qui sont associés au projet de mobilité des apprentis.

La Région Île-de-France poursuit ses efforts pour réduire les nuisances sonores sur le territoire francilien et pour faire de l’Île-de-France une région calme et apaisée. La Région Ile-de-France dédie 100M d’euros pour réduire de 30 % l’exposition au bruit dans la région et protéger 500 000 franciliens des excès de bruit.

Le plan Anti-bruit de la Région Île-de-France a des objectifs concrets et ambitieux pour réduire drastiquement le bruit d’ici 2030 : diminuer le bruit dans les transports, améliorer le confort sonore et faire de la prévention auprès des publics les plus fragiles et particulièrement les jeunes.

Pour réduire le bruit dans les transports, la Région Ile-de-France concentre ses efforts sur les communes les plus exposées en identifiant les 100 principaux points noirs du bruit routier et ferroviaire au regard de l’impact sanitaire sur les habitants, dans tous les départements franciliens et particulièrement dans les Hauts-de-Seine (92) et en Seine-Saint-Denis (93), départements très impactés. 

De nouveaux dispositifs seront déployés pour lutter contre le bruit ferroviaire  : écran anti-bruit, isolation des façades, réduction du bruit de freinage … Ces engagements financiers, inscrits dans le nouveau Contrat Plan Etat-Région (CPER), doubleront pour atteindre 30 M€. 

Ces engagements seront également renouvelés pour le bruit routier avec pour objectif de diviser par 5 les nuisances sonores pour les riverains  des 150 km de routes les plus bruyantes. Un effort déjà engagé avec le renouvellement de la flotte de bus d’Ile-de-France Mobilités : dès 2025, près de 50 % des bus franciliens rouleront à l’électrique ou au BioGNV et, à Paris, plus de 90 % des bus seront électriques donc silencieux.

La Région Île-de-France a également décidé d’agir pour lutter contre les incivilités et les deux-roues trafiqués en soutenant le développement d’un radar radar-sanction capable de verbaliser les véhicules équipés de pots d’échappement illégaux. Ce radar développé par Bruitparif est en cours d’homologation par le Laboratoire National de Mesure. La Région soutiendra les communes dans l’installation avec pour objectif 100 radars sonores déployés d’ici 2030. 

Pour les nuisances concernant le bruit aérien, la Région intensifie ses efforts avec des mesures fortes - telles que le doublement des capteurs sonores autour des aéroports - et des demandes fortes auprès de l’Etat, comme plus de transparence dans les dérogations, la multiplication par 10 du montant des amendes ne respectant pas le couvre-feu, la généralisation de la procédure de descente continue … En parallèle, Région Île-de-France poursuit son soutien pour l’installation de dispositifs silencieux sur les avions écoles franciliens. 

La Région souhaite également encourager les communes qui s’engagent pour le confort sonore , à travers plusieurs dispositifs régionaux comme le financement des équipements de mesure etc. L’objectif est de créer des « zones calmes », 200 d’ici 2030, qui seront recensées par Bruitparif. Ces communes pourront être ainsi labélisées « Ville calme », un trophée qui récompensera les collectivités engagées pour la qualité de l’environnement sonore. La Région souhaite également agir sur la météo sonore des grands chantiers. Objectif, accompagner les 70 000 chantiers que compte l’Île-de-France chaque année dans la diffusion d’informations sur le bruit , pour permettre aux entreprises d’optimiser la gestion et la régulation des nuisances sonores et mieux informer les riverains.

Enfin, la Région Ile-de-France agira pour mieux protéger les jeunes franciliens et prévenir les comportements à risque . Pour ce faire la Région met en place une journée annuelle de dépistage dans les lycées, et multiplie les messages de sensibilisation sur ses outils (LABAZ, Monlycée.net), et les encourage à télécharger l’application Höra, développée par la Fondation pour l’audition, qui permet d’autotester son audition. 

Ainsi, grâce à ces nouvelles mesures qui s’ajoutent aux actions d’ores et déjà mises en place par la Région pour lutter contre le bruit (plus de 70 communes déjà protégées du bruit routier, 40 protégées du bruit ferré, financement de dispositifs de protections sonores comme sur l’A6 ou la N118 …) l’Île-de-France devient un territoire plus calme. Outre la qualité de vie, ces actions ont aussi un impact direct sur la santé des franciliens, ainsi moins exposés. Véritable enjeu de santé publique – près d’1,5M de franciliens sont exposés à trop de bruit –la Région Île-de-France fait de la lutte contre les nuisances sonores une priorité et agit pour protéger la santé auditive des franciliens.
