Causes of failure to complete action items
These are many and varied but some common problems are listed here and may be of interest:
Lack of real management commitment which may lead to people not being really focussed on completing assigned duties in the knowledge that this will have no effect on their own performance rating.
Lack of sufficient technical ability to overcome the inevitable barriers that will be encountered.
"I’m too busy and have other priorities” is an indicator of lack of real management commitment if this is an acceptable response to delays.
Lack of finance that should have been addressed when the plans were being agreed at the planning stage.
Lack of communication and understanding of expectations. You need to ensure that everyone understands their own role and your expectations of them.
If effective preparation and planning are completed these barriers should be less problematic.
