Transactional Planning is a structural means of solving a clients’ (‘sponsors’) problem through a consultant (‘planner’). A sequence of stages between ‘sponsor’ and ‘planner’ is followed:

• Formulation sponsor formulates requirements and planner interprets the problems
• Conceptualisation sponsor suggests ideas and the planner endeavours to construct a model
• Detailing planner employs model and formulates initial plan. Sponsor analyses the plan.
• Evaluation planner and sponsor discuss costs and benefits, reaching agreement on both perspectives
