About this course
Mission-Ready Planning for district and campus planning teams: a twelve-skill method for planning under time pressure, from the planning clock to the risk register.
Plans fail in predictable ways: the clock is spent at the top and starved at the bottom, the why lives in one head, the directive's unwritten tasks surface at the worst moment, one favorite option is dressed up with two decoys, and risk is absorbed silently by whoever stands closest to it. Twelve skills under five pillars (Shared Understanding, Disciplined Analysis, Option Discipline, Risk Ownership, and Decisive Communication) each produce an artifact built on your real work. Every artifact has the same test: could someone act on this without you in the room?
Harlow Independent School District, 12,000 students on twenty campuses, must answer its school board on virtual schooling, and make its launch-month call when a charter network moves first.
What you will be able to do
- Establish the time plan, intent statement, and team roles for a real planning effort.
- Analyze a real directive and its operating arena to produce the task, constraint, information, and effects picture a plan must be built on.
- Develop, pressure-test, and compare distinct options against pre-set criteria, and brief a recommendation.
- Convert a decision into a five-part order, confirm shared understanding through brief-backs and rehearsal, and establish an owned risk register.
Who it is for
District and campus planning teams that plan under time pressure, working a real district initiative.
This edition's scenarios, examples, and vocabulary are set in a school district. The objectives and standards are the same in every edition.
