Action Plans Implement Strategies
Strategic planning is only the beginning of transformative economic development. Action planning identifies and prioritizes tactics, strategies responsibilities, timelines, and resources in order to implement your strategic plan. Without an action plan, organizations and communities flounder in how they operationalize the strategic plan. An action plan should take in the organization’s capacity, prioritize the strategies, identify tactics and resources, and set timelines for implementation.
Upsize Marketing Strategies can develop a practical action plan, marketing strategies and project management services, whereby, we help your community operationalize your strategic plan. Based on your strategic plan, we can develop an action matrix that is intended to be a living document that changes with circumstances and funding.

Northwest Colorado Region: Moffat, Routt and Rio Blanco Counties
Action Planning for Northwest Colorado

Action Planning
A three-county region in northwest Colorado needed a regional economic development action plan, following the development of its strategic plan. The rural mountainous region and their communities were heavily dependent on coal mining and its coal-fired power plants. However, new federal and state environmental regulations forced the coal-fired plants to reduce carbon emissions, subsequently sunsetting coal mining.
Northwest Colorado engaged Upsize Marketing Strategies to develop an action plan and to provide project management services to execute strategies and tactics.
