What is planning?

Planning is the process of deciding in advance what needs to be done, how it will
be done, when it will be done, and who will do it. It involves setting objectives,
outlining strategies, and establishing action plans to achieve desired outcomes.
Essentially, planning is about envisioning the future and devising a roadmap to
reach that future state efficiently and effectively.

What words describe a good planner?

A good planner is characterized by qualities such as foresight, organization,

adaptability, decisiveness, creativity, and strategic thinking. They have the ability
to anticipate challenges, set clear goals, devise flexible strategies, and take
proactive steps to overcome obstacles. Good planners also possess excellent
communication skills, attention to detail, and a commitment to continuous
improvement.

Why do we need to plan ahead?

Planning ahead is essential because it allows individuals and organizations to

anticipate future needs, challenges, and opportunities. By proactively planning,
we can identify potential risks, allocate resources efficiently, and establish a clear
direction for achieving our goals. Planning ahead enables us to minimize
uncertainties, make informed decisions, and maximize our chances of success in
both the short and long term.

Is planning ahead important to do?

Yes, planning ahead is critically important. Without proper planning, individuals

and organizations are more likely to encounter setbacks, miss opportunities, and
struggle to achieve their objectives. Planning ahead enables us to be proactive
rather than reactive, empowering us to take control of our circumstances and steer
our lives or businesses in the desired direction. Ultimately, planning ahead
increases our likelihood of success and helps us navigate through life's
uncertainties more effectively.

Analyze the word "goals."

Goals represent desired outcomes or achievements that individuals or

organizations strive to attain. They provide direction, motivation, and a sense of
purpose. Goals can be short-term or long-term, specific or broad, and they serve
as benchmarks for measuring progress and success. Effective goal-setting
involves defining clear objectives, establishing actionable steps to reach those
objectives, and regularly evaluating and adjusting strategies as needed. Goals
should be SMART: Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-
bound. By setting and pursuing goals, individuals and organizations can focus
their efforts, stay motivated, and maximize their potential for success

DEFINITION AND NATURE OF PLANNING

Planning is the process of thinking before doing. We have already been

introduced to five essential functions of a manager which is Planning, Organizing,
Staffing, Leading, and Controlling. This is also considered as a conceptual
framework of management.

LEVELS OF PLANNING
1. Corporate Level
An organization’s overall strategic direction is normally planned at the
corporate level. Planning at the corporate level as Kuye and Oghojafor (2011)
point out is carried out by a senior leadership within an organization.
2. Business Level
At business level, Anderson and Joglekar (2005) stated that all businesses
enterprises can be classified under certain organizations that work within
certain industries. These businesses develop strategies which work at their
level and that which reflect their current position and the amount of resources
 they have or need in respect to the competitive environment they are
operating.
3. Functional Level
The functional level of planning concentrates on support functions which are
owned by a business enterprise. According to Lichtenthaler (2008), such
support functions include human resources, manufacturing, marketing and
finance departments. At the functional level, strategies are explained, a
consideration which Schellekens et al (2010) propose that strengthens overall
corporate and business strategies.

TYPES OF PLANS

Planning is a part of management concerned with creating procedures, rules

and guidelines for achieving a stated objective. Planning is carried out, and
managers need to create broad objectives and mission statements as well.

Below are the three types of plans used by management in order it out
within an organizational framework:

1. Strategic Plan – a strategic plan is a high-level overview of the entire

business, its vision, mission, corporate objectives, and values. This plan is
the foundational basis of the organization and will form part of the long-
term decision. The scope of the plan can be two, three, five or even ten
years.
2. Tactical Plan – describes the tactics the organization plans to use to
achieve the ambitions outlined in the strategic plan. It is a short range, say
less than one year, a low-level document that breaks own broader mission
statements into smaller, actionable chunks.
3. Operational Plan – the operational plan describes the day to day running
of the company. The operational plan charts out a road map to achieve the
tactical goals within the timeframe. This plan is highly specific with an
emphasis on short-term objectives.
