The in-house capacity building workshop aimed at inculcating a culture of planning among staff members as a means of enhancing overall productivity. Prof. Chinsinga described a Work Plan as a roadmap on how to accomplish goals as an individual, department and organisation. Work Plans are critical, because they offer a bridge between strategy and impact. The rule of the thumb is that do not promise what you cannot deliver in the plan, but of course, the plans have to be realistic.
 
In addition, the session also enlightened that Work Plans help with self-assessment with regard to progress toward deliverables by measuring what is working and what is not working and finding solutions about problematic areas.
