Frequently Asked Questions
Learn more about our action planning workshops
Who should consider this workshop?
Organizations that:
- Have a high-level plan in place (e.g. goals and strategies) but no operational actions identified, and therefore, cannot put their plan into action.
- Do not have the capacity to create their own SMART Actions without support.
- Have operational actions created or partially created, but those actions are not SMART or not easily reported on.
- Want SMART actions to be aligned with Envisio’s software right from the design stage.
This service is designed for your executive team, department heads, senior managers and other specialized staff responsible for operational planning at the organizational or departmental levels.
Is this workshop remote or in-person?
It can be either. We recommend that you and your team participate in these action planning workshops remotely. We find that remote workshops that are shorter in duration and broken up over a longer period of time allow participants to reflect on each session and complete work in between, leading to stronger content creation and better long-term results. If there is a strong desire to host the workshop in-person, our staff can accommodate this request, but it will mean there are additional costs for travel.
Do I need to be an Envisio customer already?
No. You can book an action planning workshop with us regardless of whether you are an Envisio software customer or not.
What are the deliverables?
By hiring Envisio to support you through your action planning, you get:
- A series of facilitated capacity-building workshops with key team members of your team to support them in the creation of relevant SMART actions.
- A gap analysis based on a review of the initial set of SMART actions so follow-up information can be gathered before you start implementation.
- A finalized SMART actions spreadsheet that is in a format that can easily be transferred to Envisio or another performance management software for easy tracking and reporting.
- Supporting materials and a reusable design process to help you revise or create new actions in the future.
How do I get started?
