• Share ideas on how you might design / layout your plan
• Relay our experiences of working with other clubs across the province

What is a Development Plan?
“A Club Development Plan will be like a road map for the whole Club. It will help the club to see where it wants to go and how it will get there.”
![Page 6: Webinar 1: ‘Planning for the future’ · Introduction Matthew Holmes Club Services Officer (CSO) Email: Matthew.holmes@ulsterrugby.com Telephone: 07442490460 Eliza Downey Women](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050514/5f9e9ddbd287203f1551a9ef/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Plan?Some key reasons why we plan:
• To identify and prioritise aims and objectives for the next X years
• To be efficient and make good use of resources, mapping out what needs done, by whom and by when
• To support quality operation of the Club across all areas (there are now lots of things clubs do beyond the ‘on-pitch’)
![Page 7: Webinar 1: ‘Planning for the future’ · Introduction Matthew Holmes Club Services Officer (CSO) Email: Matthew.holmes@ulsterrugby.com Telephone: 07442490460 Eliza Downey Women](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050514/5f9e9ddbd287203f1551a9ef/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
How do we create a Plan?
We have a 7-step model which covers:
1. Where are we now? (our baseline)
2. Where do we want to go? (our objectives)
3. How are we going to get there? (our actions)
![Page 8: Webinar 1: ‘Planning for the future’ · Introduction Matthew Holmes Club Services Officer (CSO) Email: Matthew.holmes@ulsterrugby.com Telephone: 07442490460 Eliza Downey Women](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022050514/5f9e9ddbd287203f1551a9ef/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Step 1: Form a TeamConsider the Development Planning Process a ‘mini project’ and try to get a ‘balanced team’ together.
