Section Three: Plotting the Journey
The strategies outlined in this plan cannot all happen at once. Some need to be implemented before work on others can start. The seven steps of the plan are not linked to specific years. Rather, they indicate how actions need to be sequenced. The purpose of a strategic plan is to set the direction for action. Particularly in the later steps, we are less sure about the details. Where we know the details we have included them. Largely though, it will only be as we work together over the next 10 years that we will discover which initiatives are successful and which need to be amended. The steps of the plan are outlined in the attachment which you can download below.
