Effective planning is an important tool for any business or organisation. This must include providing clarity about priorities and help to identify both significant challenges and appropriate opportunities. Businesses need to find ways of ensuring that planning is robust and inclusive, without becoming too burdensome (planning is only a tool and not an end in itself!).
Key stages in the planning process
- Understanding the current position : resources, opportunities and limiting factors
- Developing vision, clarity of purpose and priorities
- Creating action-focussed plans to achieve that vision
- Developing ways of monitoring progress and amending plans in the light of emerging realities
