This document provides guidance on developing an implementation plan for strategies. It outlines common mistakes like using pre-planned channels without understanding strategic needs, not developing new channels for strategies, and implementing strategies without connecting them to timelines. The objectives are to understand how to plan implementation activities involving field and board offices to grow programs. The steps outlined are to decide target audiences, define appropriate channels per audience, define key messages, and cross-check channels and messages against timelines. The output is an implementation plan connecting strategies and KPIs to target audiences, channels, messages, activities, responsibilities and exchange project timelines. Guidance is provided on audiences, channels, messages, and ensuring channels are not overloaded and support strategic

Tier 2

3. Common
mistakes.

4. “
We use the channels which are
planned for us every year, without
understanding what the strategy
needs

5. “
We do not come up with new
channels if need for specific
strategies

6. “
We try to implement strategies
without connecting it to the
exchange timeline

7. “
We do not reach all of our audiences

8. “
We spread the same message to our
all our audiences

9. “
We spread the wrong message to via
the wrong channel

10. Why?
We need plan how to
bring strategies from
the MC to LC level!

I understand how to
plan implementation
activities for projects to
grow programs
(involving FO and BO)

12. The Steps.
1. Decide
your
targets
audiences
2. Define the
channels you
need per
target
audience
How to build an implementation plan.
3. Define the

14. The Output

15.  With who do you need to implement this
strategy?
 Connect this directly to the clusters from
the growth model
 Think of MC, LC VPs (FOBO), members,
Boards, externals etc
Target Audience

16. NOTE
With deciding which
audience you need to
reach,
take into account your
growth model &
clusters!

17.  What is the timeline of implementation for this
strategy? Which channels are available?
 Connect the channels to the audiences
 Understand what the channel can be used for
(which message)
 Come up with new channels or adjust current
ones if needed!
Channels

18. Internal Comms

19.  Create key messages for every
audience!
 Customize for different channels
if needed
 Not every audience needs to get
the same message!!
Message

20.  Yay! You know how you want to implement your
strategies!
 Now you need to take a look at the channels… are
you overloading them?
 You cannot send too many messages in one
channel!
 Is the timeline supporting the strategy
implementation?
