Protect Your Plan
In most businesses there is a plan to follow. In many businesses however, a plan needs to be created, agreed upon by the decision makers and then applied to the business.
When you establish a plan of action chances are that you want your plan to succeed. We help our Clients with a process known as PPA to protect their plan and ensure that it has an above average chance for success. If this is what you want then it is essential to identify, evaluate and understand the risks that could possibly undermine your plan and prepare (in advance) to face each obstacle with preventative and contingent actions.
Think of it this way, “protecting the plan” has to do with a set of processes that help you to prepare for risks and avoid surprises that could sabotage your project. Here is how to get started:
a) Identify Potential Problems that could sabotage your project
b) Identify the Triggers that will inform you when such a problem has occurred
c) List Likely Causes for each potential problem
d) Create Preventative & Contingent Actions
You can plan and take preventative actions to reduce the likely causes for each potential problem and plan contingent actions to minimize the likely effects of each potential problem if and when they occur.
If you have an important plan that needs to succeed and you’d like some help protecting your plan – don’t hesitate, contact us today.
