3 ANNUAL PLAN

WHY DO AN ANNUAL PLAN?
Sitting down with your Hub Team - Regional Leaders
and your Hub Leader - and your regional Network
Partners is a great opportunity to establish a shared
purpose. A shared purpose is what drives our businesses
and personal life and can therefore help us clarify and
attain our targets, so an annual plan helps Regional
Leaders have a better understanding of the targets for
your region and how to strive to achieve them.
Annual plans are particularly useful for scoping out
regional events such as pre-calving, mid-calving, post-
calving, pre-mating and Christmas wellbeing or social
events. It also gives you a chance to look at the one
or two regional events with learning outcomes. We
encourage you to run these annually.
Your plan is a living document that your regional team
needs to be involved with and own. Once workshops are
allocated, update your annual plan so you can start to
think about the detail of the regional events you would
like to run.

Once your plan is created, your Hub Leader will share it
with the wider DWN Team. This helps them understand
your region’s shared purpose and needs, it also informs
the wider organisation of the proposed events in your
region.
