PROJECT + program MANAGEMENT
Projects and Programs in health and community services need strong skills and experience to make them work in the way they are intended.
We have all seen a well intended plan that becomes a dust collector, a well meaning effort that never quite hits the mark.
The difference between a plan and a working plan is in the process – unpacking and analysing the concepts, engaging with purpose and wrestling with the detail.
The process of creating a working plan is all about action and persistence and it can be challenging.
Working Plan’s experience and skillset can help you to achieve a working plan that brings intentions to life and delivers much needed change.
IT’S ONE THING TO HAVE A PLAN.
It is another thing entirely to have a working plan.
