| • | Allocate Champions and Project Leaders |
| • | Identify timescales |
| • | Identify who needs to be involved |
| • | Plan how the resulting projects will be monitored and steered |

| Project Steering Grid produced by in-house Facilitators at Stevenage Homes |
This is a beautifully produced Project Steering Grid sent to us by Richard Field who writes:
"Now that I've seen Annual Planning in action I'm beginning to realise it comes with a whole portfolio of advantages. I'm impressed with the way it simplifies the planning process, turns it into a collective effort and works from the bottom up. I'm also beginning to realise that it makes the results so much more accessible to staff and encourages openness among managers. We've set up the 12 sheets of the grid in the main office and invited all staff to come and have a look. Beats a 70 page report any day!"
The underpinning philosophy
"One of the big things the Japanese latched onto during my visits there was the concept of annual quality improvement at a revolutionary rate. As a result, their rate of improvement had a very steep slope, whereas the West had a shallow slope. By adopting a philosophy of annual quality improvement at a revolutionary rate, the Japanese over a period of decades ended up as world leaders in quality." - Dr Joseph Juran
