Methods of Planning Process
Planning
Method: Planning Process 1 – Overview
Goals / Options:
Goals should be collectively resolved in order to subsequently implement these together.
A collective planning process enables a division of tasks and takes the pressure off all
participants. Joint definitions of goals and planning processes enable the accountability
of project participants, particularly the elderly. The involvement of participants should
therefore be ensured as early as possible. Furthermore, many questions may be resolved at
this point of time. Risks are already defined and minimised at the start of the project.
Brief description:
Within the scope of a planning process for an exchange of elderly people, it makes sense
to separate the planning process into individual steps in order to make its realisation goaloriented,
result-oriented as well as participation-oriented. In detail these steps are:
1. Rough planning description
2. Survey of demands
3. Differentiated description of plan
4. Clarify who should be involved in the planning process
5. Determination of interests and needs of the elderly
6. Definition of goals, the actual status and the difference
7. Determination and assessment of solutions
8. Setup of action plan
It would be useful to process the steps successively and to visualise them during the process
in order to achieve an instant protocol. The following applies to all steps: first gather
uncommented ideas, then assess and select.
To be determined beforehand:
1. Who should be informed beforehand?
2. Who should be asked beforehand?
3. Who is appropriate to participate in the process?
Starting point: at project begin during the first phase of ideas
Timeframe: maximum of 5 hours
Group size: 5 – 10 participants
Group composition: Person responsible for planning; elderly people; N.N.
Necessary materials:
1. Room
2. Visualisation materials: presentation material and pin boards or alternatively: felt pens
and paper
