Week Minus 2 – Decide on a Focus area & Team

Week Minus 2

Decide on a Focus Area & Team
for the 30-Day Project

This week, you will engage leaders in your organisation to help them decide on a focus area for the 30-Day Project, and to select a 30-Day Project Team.

Your Mission This Week

Meet with organisational leaders

Meet with organisational leaders, present the results of the Health Check survey, help them decide in a focus area, select a Team, and designate a Project Sponsor. The Learning Deep Dives from previous week will help you facilitate these conversations.  

If it’s helpful, you can use the briefing slides that were shared on Thursday of last week. For easy reference, you can access these on the link below. Please be sure to customise slides 13-15, based on your analysis iof the Health Survey results.  

Also, please feel free to ask someone from the World of Impact to be “on call” during your meeting with other leaders to answer questions they may have. 

Set a date for the Start-up Workshop

Set a date for the Start-up workshop of the 30-Day Project. To keep your 30-Day Project synchronised with the Learning Programme, we suggest doing it the week after next. It’ll be ideal to block out at least a half day for this, or a full day if possible. 

Draft a 30-Day Project Charter

Draft a 30-Day Project Charter, finalise it with the Project Sponsor, and ensure that the Sponsor sends it to Team members. This will provide context to the Team, clarify role, and outline expectations. You can download a template Charter by clicking on the button below. 

Preparing for Next Week (Week -1)

Your main focus next week will be to get ready for the Start-up Workshop (the week after next). Here are the Learning Deep Dives that will help you get a head start on this. 

Overview of Start-up Workshop: Objectives and overall flow of the Workshop. The other Learning Deep Dives provide a step-by-step guide on facilitating each agenda item.
