STP Worksheet

S- Situation T- Target P- Plan

Attempts at delegation and action planning often fail because there is a lack of alignment on the definition
of the situation. Furthermore, rarely do people clearly agree on the target state prior to formulating an
Action Plan. Attaining agreement on what the situation and the ideal target state are, before attempting
to discuss how to get to the target state will ensure solid Action Plans. When Action Plans are also
developed by the people responsible for the results, the commitment to the plans will be higher and the
opportunity for success significantly increased. If the endeavor is delegated, it’s important to check that
there is agreement on the situation and the target with key interested parties, before implementing the
Action Plan. This ensures that the Action Plan will be supported and deliver the results desired.
Hurdle or Barrier we are addressing:

S - Defining the Situation:


Ask questions beginning with what, when, where, why, who and how. For example: How is it effecting our
customers, employees, financial results, competitive position, teamwork, communications and the quality
of our products/services? Include facts, opinions, beliefs, feelings, hunches, and assumptions. Feelings
and beliefs are valid, just because someone feels them. Only facts can be debated and tested. If there is
disagreement on facts or significant facts are unknown, the action plan can include an information-
gathering step.

T- Identifying the Target:


What is the ideal state? It’s the end of the assignment and we’ve done a great job, what does that look
like? What outcomes or results are we looking for? Check that for every point under the situation,
there is a point under the target that addresses the issue.
