TOOLS FOR ACTION

19. ‘Making a Change’ Action Plan

In the final workshop of the 2002 World Conference on Women and Sport (Saturday May 18th, 3:30 – 5:00pm) delegates will gather with individuals from similar situations or affiliations to discuss follow-up action from the conference, i.e., how can I make change when I return home?

In these groups, delegates will complete the following steps:

1. Introduce selves

  • Name
  • Where from
  • Role at home in women and sport
  • Major challenges facing you in creating positive change for women and sport.

2.   Discuss strategies for change that have worked. Share ideas about what you can do.

3.   Think about what you want to accomplish; review the following questions to guide your planning.

4.   Record your answers on the next page.

What are my priorities for change?

Since we seldom have the time or resources to do everything at once, it is necessary to identify priorities for change, or the most important thing that need to change. List your priorities in the first column on the next page.
What change would I like to see?

For each priority, indicate the specific outcomes that you would like to achieve, i.e. what will be different as a result of your action?
What do I have to do to achieve this change?

Identify the specific actions that will have to take place in order to achieve your desired results.
When should the actions be completed?

Identify a target date for achieving your desired results. Identify target dates for the completion of each of your actions as well.

Who can assist me in achieving this result?

Identify individuals and groups both inside and outside your organisation who can assist you in achieving the desired results.
How am I doing?

Record successes related to achieving your desired results. As you progress, you may have to alter some of your actions, dates, or involve other people to help achieve your desired results.
How will I know I have succeeded?

Identify the indicators you will use to know when you have accomplished what you wanted.
