1. Assemble and review materials already drafted. When the planning team is ready to write a formal plan, most of the important writing already will be done. The planning team should be sure to use the needs, goals, indicators, and strategies they generated during the planning process. These form the basis of the plan.
2. Agree on length and format. Of course, continuous improvement plans should be clear, concise, and logically organized so they can be easily used. But no perfect length or format exists. A time saving step is to agree on the content and length of each major section before writing begins. This is especially important when more than one person is writing.
3. Outline, Draft, and Revise. Beginning with a draft of the executive summary and an outline will give the writer(s) a framework. |
