What happens after the event is vitally important and it's fair to say that this has been the main weakness in most action planning so far. Follow-up should be built in from the start, but you are unlikely to know precisely what form it should take until after the event. Sometimes a clear path, and people to implement it, will emerge during the event. Team debriefing shortly afterward to assess the next moves. Annual evaluation meetings - organised by the Steering Group.
Team revisits periodically to learn of progress and offer additional suggestions.
Newsletters prepared by the steering group to provide updates. Report reviews - special meetings to run through the proposals with community leaders and others. Objectives When done successfully, the anecdotal evidence available so far suggests that action planning can achieve objectives hard to achieve in any other way. Acting as a catalyst for action of all kinds in releasing blockages in the development system. Resolution of complex problems or at least clearer identification of issues and goals.
