    FOREWORD

    Dear Fellow Jaycees:

    The purpose of thi s gui de is to teach you how to wri te Chairman's

    Planning Guide (CPGs) Project Notebooks. These project notebooks can be

    used to enter in the appropriate single project awards category and be

    used to support your programming entries.

    During the year (1975-1976), I served as Project Chairman for the

    Petersburg Jaycees CPG Project Notebook Program. This guide was develop

    ed to train our members on how to wri te single project notebook entries.

    The results on the success of this gmide speak for themselves. In

    the Virginia State Competition, 15 out of 23 single project entries won

    an award. Specifically, there were 8 first place entries in Population

    Division V (2 of which won sweepstakes awards), 4 second place entries

    in Population Division V and 3 third place entries in Population Division

    V. Our Individual Development Programming Notebook entry placed second

    in Population Division V and our Giessenbier notebook entry placed third

    in Population Division V. Also, our noteboo~were entered and won the

    Jaycee creed award. On the national level we had 3 single project note

    book entries won first place awards in Population Division V, our Indi

    vidual Development Programming Notebook entry won a first place award in

    Population Division V and went on to place first in the U.S. and our

    Giessenbier notebook won a first place award in Population

    Division V, and went on to place the Petersburg Jaycees as the

    number two chapter in the U.S. for 1975-1976.

    Since the CPG is one of the management tools pronPted by the U.S.

    Jaycees to develop us into better leaders in our communities, it is believ

    ed this guide will more fully explain the proper use of the CPG in planning

    and record-keeping to run a project successfully and how to document the

    res u1ts for use in award competi ti on. If addi t i ona 1 copies of thi s gui de

    are needed, they can be purchased from the undersigned for $2.50 per copy.

    I. ROCls (Relevant Organization Concept of Chapter and Project Planning).

    What is an ROC? It is a chapter management, programming and leader

    ship training tool. It can aide in identifying the needs of chapter members

    and of the community. One major portion of the ROC is the Chainman's Plann

    ing Guide (CPG). The purpose of the Chairman's Planning Guide is to aide

    the project Chairman to run a successful project. The second part of the

    CPG concept is for the project Chairman to keep a detailed record of how

    he ran the project and write-up the results as a project notebook.

    Why should the project Chairman have to write-up how the project was

    run if it was successful? There are two major reasons, one reason is that

    each year your chapter has run many successful internal and external pro

    jects but have failed to document the results so that if the project is

    run again the following year then the next project Chairman will have a

    good guide to go by. The second reason is so that single project notebooks

    can be entered into state competition and be judged so that your Jaycee

    chapter can obtain credit for the work they have done.

    II. Judging Criteria for Notebook Submissions,

    The sheet that follows isincluded because it tells one how his note

    book submission will be scored by the judges, what infonmation must be in

    cluded in the write-up and how it must be written and how many potential

    points will be awarded for each area. Thus, one would be wise to read this

    sheet before ever completing the planning section of the CPG prior to pro

    ject initiation.

    7. What problems do you anticipate needing to overcome to successfully

    complete this project? Outline alternative methods to overcome eachproblem. This step in the planning process is extremely important.Take the time necessary to explore the possible pitfalls or dangers you

    may encounter. This is essentially negative brainstorming in order tounderstand ahead of time, as much as possible, what things might

    prevent the successful completion of this project. You should find thefollowing procedure useful in the problem-solving process.

    a. Clearly define each problem. The key questions are "why" and

    "what" is causing the problem?

    b. Gather and analyze the data and facts.

    c. Think up all the possible solutions.

    d. Select the three or four best ideas.

    e. Give indepth attention to each, trying to improve each by adding,

    combining, or modifying each.

    f. If possible, pretest the tentative solutions.

    g. Adopt the final solutions.

    8. List the specific steps to be taken to bring this project to a successful

    completion. Show approximate date for each step. Develop a schedule orplan of action. Only with a schedule can you tell for sure whether

    things are going well or badly. As committee chairman, you need to knowthe major activities. When do they need to be completed? If they are

    going to be accomplished on schedule, when must they begin? Each of your

    sub-committee chairmen should go into detail and specifics in schedulingtheir portions of the project. Don't wait until "D-Day" to discover

    you're off schedule. (For schedule use a bar Chart or

    9.Com~lete the proposed budget showing all anticihated income and expenses.Estlmate your income from all sources. How muc will be needed from the

    chapter treasury? Will money be needed to pay certain expenses beforefunds will be realized from outside sources? Itemize the costs expected

    with the project. How much money will be expended and on what items?Analyze various ways you can save money. Ask yourself "could this bedone cheaper?" (Use back of CPG.) (Repeat here or refer to back of CPG).

    IMP L E MEN TAT ION

    10. Record the specific steps as taken and the results of each. Withpreplanning finished, it becomes time to act. As the various aspects

    of the project are started, record briefly the action taken and when.As the project progresses, you will find it helpful to be able to refer

    to prior action. Be brief and concise, showing important items, suchas; times, people involved, decisions arrived at, and commitments made.

    DATE BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF ACTIONS TAKEN

    11. Record any revisions or changes in plans as they become necessary.It is not realistic to expect that a perfedt plan has been designed.

    However, good preplanning should eliminate unforeseen major problemswhich would require the need for major revisions. Make a record of any

    changes, large or small, that are made as the project is conducted. Itis likely an alternative method for anticipated problems may have to beused. Record the use of the alternative method that was used and why.

    (This question should relate back to question 7 in the Planning Section).

    12. Record income and expenses as they occur. Good financial management

    requires that you know where you are at all times. As expenses or costsare incurred, make a record of them. This will prevent you and the

    chapter from being surprised by a bill long after the project is completed.

    DATE DESCRIPTION INCOME EXPENSE

    13. Record role of non-Jaycees. Many people or groups within yourcommunity may wish to assist you in a project. It is a good idea torecord the names of those who assisted you. Remember to express your

    appreciation to these people.

    14. Give a capsule evaluation of the project in relationship to your plans

    and goals. Describe your thoughts, opinions, and evaluation of theoverall project. Be specific enough to tell how the conducting of the

    project was carried out in relationship to the plans that were made.To what degree did you achieve the primary purpose of the project?

    Were the goals attained? Describe briefly, but honestly, what you

    personally gained from this project and what was gained by your committeemembers. (Be sure to include evidence of goal attainment in substantiatingmaterials section).

    15. Describe any problems not anticipated and how they were handled. Describethe major problems experienced and how you arrived at the final solution.In the case of problems that could not be overcome, outline why and what

    impact these problems had on your overall success. (This question should

    relate to question 7 of the Planning Section and question 11 of the

    Implementation Section of the CPG).

    17. Explain any financial problems encountered. Was the project a financialsuccess or failure? Be specific, show profit or loss. If either theanticipated income or expenses varied greatly from the budget, explain

    why. Were the factors controllable? Explain how financial problems

    experienced during the course of the project were handled.

    this project in the future? As a Ipeop1e-oriented" organizationstriving to make Jayceeism a meaningful experience for each member~ it

    is important that you analyze this project in relationship to yourfellow Jaycee members. Could this project be turned over to some other

    organization with Jaycee members assisting them and yet provide growthopportunities for interested Jaycees?

    MANAGEMENT TECHNIQUES

    Planning - Good advanced planning is the basis for a successful project.Our chapter emphasizes the use of the Chairman's Planning Guide (CPG)as the key to project success. For example, we are required to usethe CPG and the previous project notebook in planning and conductingour projects. First we must answer each of the nine questions underthe planning section of the CPG prior to beginning the project. Bydoing this, one can plan the events and activities to happen on purpose,rather than by accident. In summary, this management technique hasforced me to think ahead so that I will not have to take haphazardactions which are usually the case when the project has not beenproperly planned.

    TRAINING - One thing this project has done for me as project chairman,was to train me in the use of the CPG and how to conduct a project.One of the first things that was done when I accepted chairmanship ofthis project was that the supervising chapter officer sat down with meand taught me and the role I was to play in order to carry out thisproject successfully. There were four fundamental management techniquesthat were covered: 1) planning, 2) communications, 3) personnelmanagement and 4) financial management. Without this training, runningthis project would have been a frustrating experience but with thistraining and experience gained by conducting this project has allowedme to perform my duties on my regular job in a more effective andefficient manner.

    COMMUNICATIONS - As project chairman, I quickly learned that communication.is one of the major keys in delegating work to be done. Communication

    is more than simply telephoning a person on your project and tellinghim something or sending him a note, to communicate to him effectively,you must have two events occur. First you as project chairman musttransmit your message and the person on your project must receive themessage and understand it for the communication to be effective. Asproject chairman, you soon learn that there are four basic ways tocommunicate to the people working on your project: 1) written, 2) oral,3) visual and 4) indirect. As a project chairman, I quickly learnedthat I must keep my project members informed if the project is to beaccomplished in a timely and successful manner because information thatcomes too late will result in lack of or non-accomplishment of that task.

    PERSONNEL MANAGEMENT - As project chairman, you quickly learn that personal

    management is another one of the keys to project success, yet the hardestto achieve. All of the planning and organization cannot accomplish theproject without human resources. Since Jaycees are a civic group ofvolunteers, one cannot use.fear to motivate them rather one must useattitude (inspire them through your leadership ability) and incentivesto get them to work and produce. "Jaycees are people:" and must betreated as such. Thus the real key to getting the project done is to

    23

    25/41

    motivate your team by 1) making the members feel important and wanted,2) making them see the importance of their role on the project, 3)explaining the benefits they will get from participating on this project,4) make sure they know what they are to do and what you expect of them,5) make sure you and they agree on a reasonable standard of performance,6) teach them the neccessary skills needed to perform their tasks on

    the project and 7) show them appreciation for their efforts is the mostimportant key. These are some important personnel management techniquesto use to activate your project members. You soon learn as projectchairman and personnel manager, that you will not treat every memberalike but must work with each project member on an individaul personto-person basis.

    FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT - This aspect of management is important and mustnot be overlooked. By use of the CPG and answering each of the ninequestions before the project is begun, one-is forced to prepare a budgetwhen you answer question 9. Thus, by preparing the budget for theproject, you quickly learn what expenses you will incur and if additionalrevenue must be raised to complete the project. Thus you and yourcommittee chairmen know how much they have to spend and/or raise sothey won't end up spending more than your income.
