I agree with defining the goals first. If you don’t know what you want to achieve, how can you plan the rest? It feels like a foundational step.

I feel like specifying the skills is important too, but it might come after setting the goals. I just can’t remember the exact order we discussed.

I'm not so sure about that. I remember a practice question where determining the scope was emphasized first. Maybe that’s what we should focus on?

I'm a little confused by the wording of this question. Is it asking about the first step in the overall strategy, or just the learning plan? I'll need to re-read it a few times to make sure I understand.

I'm just picturing the TD professional trying to figure this out and then suddenly realizing they forgot to factor in the mandatory company-wide trust fall session. Rookie mistake!

Wait, there's no option for 'hire a professional event planner to handle this whole mess'? That's my go-to move for any organizational strategy.
