Achieving Cont’ • Establish the goal, outcomes, key outputs and guiding principles... is RM considered important and everybody’s everyday business in your office? • Identify resource partners and match interests to priority areas... find out who is really interested • Develop an Action plan (identify, engage, negotiate, manage and report and communicate results)... get practical and make it your everyday business.
