There is a linear logic from the title,

What is APP?
The Action Plan and Project (APP) is an empowering response to the call for public managers with a bias for people empowerment and the need to contribute to the fund of knowledge …is key to the MPM program's philosophy …

Resume/CV
Basic Principles There is a linear logic from the Title to the
recommendation Be passionate with your topic to make it
worth pursuing (read: sleepless nights) Limit research areas of your paper to at least
three questions (or die hard) Your review of literatures and books will
lead you to your conceptual framework (conceptual framework) – it’s the story of your paper
Research Design/Method should lead you to your Analytical Framework

Considerations and Questions
Why the project is needed and how will it be of benefit? What specific action steps will I take to accomplish the objective(s)?
Who else will I need to get engaged because they have a role to play in my project’s success?
What timeline will I hold myself accountable to complete this project?
Considerations and Questions
What obstacles do I anticipate in achieving success for each step and how will I overcome them? Repeatedly review these guiding words to assist you to develop your action plan: What will I do, where will I take these actions, how will I do it, by what date, and why I am taking this action? WHO-, WHAT- WHERE-, HOW- WHY …?
Considerations and Questions
What will be done if a budget is granted?
(Discuss how the project is to be conducted and the approach to be taken including the anticipated length of the grant period).
How will the effects and quality of the project be determined?
(Describe how the project will be evaluated, including evaluation criteria, in relation to the goals and objects of the project
Considerations and Questions
How will others find out about the project and be able to use the results?
(Describe the outputs that will result, the degree to which they will be applicable to similar organizations, and the manner in which the outputs and results of the project will be disseminated).
Friendly Reminders
You know the end “canalized” Be a “sponge” , no pre-judgment, Acknowledge sources – book,
documents, speech, interview, etc Everything should matter –
“pampakapal” Be logical
“There is a linear logic from the title,

We can't solve problems by
using the same kind of thinking
we used when we created them.
