Bentornato al Business English Pod per la lezione di oggi su Collocazioni inglesi related to implementing a plan.
In affari, good planning is important, whether you’re talking about a long-term strategy or a short-term project. But a plan itself means nothing without action. It’s not what you decide to do that matters, but what you actually do. And what you actually do with a plan is called “implementation.” Implementing a plan is all about deciding who will do what, and when they will do it.
In questa lezione, we’ll listen in on a meeting about how to implement a marketing plan. Durante la discussione, you’ll hear lots of useful expressions that we call “collocations.” A collocation is a natural combination or group of words. Per esempio, I’ve already used the collocation “to implement a plan.” We don’t say “do a plan” or “activate a plan.” The natural expression is “to implement a plan.”
Native speakers use collocations like this automatically, and you can learn to use them as well. Studiando Collocazioni inglesi, migliorerai il tuo vocabolario e sembrerai più fluente. Mentre ascolti la finestra di dialogo, prova a scegliere alcune di queste collocazioni e ne discuteremo più avanti nel debriefing.
Nella finestra di dialogo, we’ll hear Carlos, Viv, Byron, and Marion. The small company they work for has just had a new marketing plan developed by a consulting company. Now they are meeting to figure out how to implement the plan.
