Rassie Erasmus proved during the World Cup how important a game plan is. He had a carefully planned strategy resulting in many discussions by supporters on the so-called useless kicking game by Faf de Klerk. During the last game against England, he had a different game plan that surprised everybody – the Springboks won because of his game plan and he is now hailed as a genius in the rugby community.
So, what is the benefit of having a game plan:
- It binds all team members to a common goal
- Everybody is aware of the path to reach the goal
- Everybody knows what their role is and what is expected of them
- You can calculate what your required resources are
- You can train role players for their expected duties
- You can measure your deliverables
The same can be said for a health and safety plan. In any business, it serves the same purpose as the game plan for the Springboks. If you don’t have a plan, your employees will not know what is expected of them and your efforts will most likely fail.
