What is Planning?
A plan is a blueprint for goal achievement, a blueprint that specifies the necessary resource allocations, schedules, tasks, and other actions to achieve the purpose.
Why is planning important? :
- It bridges the gap between where we are & where we want to be.
- Reduces Uncertainties
- Provides Direction
- Resource allocation
- Minimises impulses & arbitrary decisions.
Planning answers 6 basic questions in regard to any activity:
- what needs to be accomplished? what are the alternative routes to it?
- when is the deadline?
- where will this be done?
- who will be responsible ?
- how will it get done?
- how much time, energy, and resources are required to accomplish this goal?
Types of plans
- Purpose / Mission / Vision
