I love doing Planning Days.
Why?
Because everyone is focused on one task.
Because the time limit is open and designed to hear people talk – there is no rush to finish.
Because it’s an opportunity to hear people’s thoughts away from everything else going on in the day-to-day.
Now having a successful planning day is altogether a different story and requires preparation, ensuring everyone knows what they are there for and what they need to have prepared in advance.
Because the goal of a good planning day – is to come out with a plan.
