Action Plans Leadership Activity

After a group or class has gone through the brainstorming process, it becomes important to decided upon what course of action the class will take to resolve a problem or challenge. This is called an action plan.

There are some key steps to follow when creating an action plan:

1. Restate the problem or challenge to the group.
2. List the possible problems or challenges the group is most likely to encounter while trying to solve the problem.
3. Evaluate resources that are available to the group.
4. Develop a list of strategies to overcome the aforementioned problems or challenges. Many of these strategies have probably already been stated during the brainstorming process.
5. Assign responsibilities to individual group members. Create due dates and time guidelines for specific job completion.
6. Constantly reevaluate your action plan. See what progress has been made or if you need to redesign the action plan.

Allow students to work in groups of 6 to 8. Present them with a problem or challenge in which you want them to address and resolve. Ask them to create an action plan on how they would solve the problem.
