Setting our 2014 Priorities • Consolidate on successes/priorities from 2013. • Remainder of priorities are all “back of house” solutions • Report developed with 5 key recommendations • Executive support gained • January 2014 – commence key stakeholder engagement and implementation • Breakdown 5 solutions into staged, workable projects
Lessons Learnt • Set clear milestones and aim to meet them • Undertake a thorough diagnostic • Do not rush implementation • Meet with key stakeholders regularly (at least weekly) • Concentrate on the long term – don’t be distracted by current performance • External support and designated project leader essential
