Program Coordination Checklist

Through NHM, we conduct hundreds of meetings and training every year. It is important that we do it in such manner that the process is streamlined and is done through the right procedure. There are also several small things to take care of while conducting a program/training. Even the most experienced among us could forget/overlook some minor detail, and this could ultimately wreak havoc in the whole program.

Checklists are a way of ensuring that human follies don't happen. Through checklists, we will be able to ensure that all activities are done well. In his book 'The Checklist Manifesto', renowned author and surgeon Atul Gawande says:
Good checklists, on the other hand are precise. They are efficient, to the point, and easy to use even in the most difficult situations. They do not try to spell out everything--a checklist cannot fly a plane. Instead, they provide reminders of only the most critical and important steps--the ones that even the highly skilled professional using them could miss. Good checklists are, above all, practical.
Here, we are introducing one checklist. This checklist is to be used when planning and implementing a program/training/meeting.

 Program Checklist

 Stakeholder Engagement Tool

When the first thought of conducting a meeting/training comes to your mind, think of this checklist. Print it out and use it. Read it carefully and tick off the items you have completed. Some of the items may seem silly/naive but rest assured, maintaining a checklist takes discipline. Take that responsibility for yourself.

Our work primarily deals with improving processes and getting consistent results. This checklist helps improve the planning and implementation process of meetings/ training so as to make them more productive.

Let's get things done!!
