Stakeholders collaborate to develop a course of action for resolving each known issue. This involves defining a desired end state; creating objectives, tasks, and metrics to measure success; as well as identifying necessary resources. Once this is done, stakeholders work together to gather the resources necessary for implementation.
Tips for Developing a Course of Action
- Integrate input from all stakeholders
- Be mindful of statutes, regulations, and authorities
- Develop multiple options to compare and combine
- Keep it simple
- Make it measurable
Remember: A successful course of action focuses on an identified issue or barrier, identifies the resource it needs, and facilitates interventions that close the distance between the need and the resource required.
