ACTION PLANNING MODEL
There are many different models of action planning, but a good starting
point is shown here. Action planning is a cyclical process, and once you
have been through one cycle, you can start again at the beginning. Of
course, in real life it’s not quite as simple as this. The process is more
organic and stages will overlap, or you may change your goals as you
progress, and you must be prepared to revise your plan as circumstances
dictate.
The stages are as follows:


WHERE AM I NOW? This is where you review your
achievements and progress, and undertake self-assessment.



WHERE DO I WANT TO BE? This is where you decide your goals.



HOW DO I GET THERE? This is where you define the strategy
you will use to achieve your goals, and to break down your goal
into the smaller discreet steps you will need to take to achieve
your target.
TAKING ACTION. This is the nitty gritty where you implement
your plan!
