Gift #4: Team Action Plan.

As we move toward 2026, many teams are thinking about next year and what needs to happen. January often represents a new year for many businesses and teams.
Creating a plan early gives you a sense of direction and shared ownership.
This Team Action Plan template comes directly from our CAKE Connect platform and our ILM leadership programmes.
It’s simple and highly practical.
Why this gift?
Because we know teams perform better when everyone knows:
· What we’re working toward
· Who is leading the work
· What needs to happen next
· By when
· And what support or decisions are still required
It brings alignment that every team needs as they enter a new year.
How to Use This Gift
1. Use it in your end-of-year team meeting
Choose 2–3 improvement objectives for early 2026. Capture them together using this template.
2. Use it as part of your January kick-off
Begin the year with a plan that is visible, shared and owned.
3. Use it to support change work
This is a great tool for change leaders who need to track progress and build commitment.
