REMEMBER THIS
Appreciating the purpose of planning and applying the same in your daily
undertakings is vital since once you have a plan, you will learn how to manage not
only your time but your resources as well.

Never have a plan; it’ll just get in

your way.
- MartinRubin
Do you agree with this quote?

Do you think things will just get in your way?
What if it will not?
What will happen then?
Are you willing to take the risk of not getting the things you want because you
fail to plan?

lOMoARcPSD|29183733
How important is planning?
Planning is like having a map and a compass with you. Even if you are in the middle
of nowhere, if you have your map and your compass, you can reach your destination
without wasting much time in roaming around. For instance, in the direction you are
in, you may encounter problems, but you can still find another way out.
Planning is important because establishing plans based on the set goals will provide
direction to the organization’s undertakings and will decrease the percentage of
indecisions.
Planning is an extremely complex process since it requires a systematic method of

recognizing and analyzing the elements of the organization’s external environment
and matching with the firm’s internal environment’s factors and capabilities.
In an environment full of uncertainty, you need to understand that you can formulate
assumptions based on forecasts of what is expected in the future and decide what to
do, how to do it, when to do it and many more.

lOMoARcPSD|29183733
Nature of Planning
How does Goals and Plans Differ?
GOALS PLANS
These are the targets desired at These are the actions or ways

which the management wanted to will be using to achieve the
reach. organization’s goal.

lOMoARcPSD|29183733
For example:
The goal of <Fishda= store is to sell 1,000 pieces of sardines for the month of
August 2020.
To achieve this goal, they plan to divide the sales target into 4 weeks which will
require them to sell at least 250 pieces per week or 36 pieces per day.
Additionally, they will not only rely on the walk-in buyers in their store. They also
plan to post and advertise their product in Facebook and other social media platforms
since online selling is effective nowadays.
Lastly, they will offer free delivery for a minimum purchase of 10 pieces.
Whenever a company sets its goal, the management will then strategize and
make action plans that are best suited to achieve the goal.
If the management fails to come-up with an effective plan especially when other
factors arise, tendency is, the goal will not be achieved.
Thus, effective planning is very important and crafting strategies is crucial for
this requires efficient and effective decision-making.
Are you a member of any organization

in your community? If yes, what are
the plans of your organization as a
whole?
Organizational plans can be generally described in terms of comprehensiveness,

length of time covered or timeframe, specificity and frequency of use.
Comprehensiveness refers to the completeness of planning coverage.
Specificity refers to very detailed, clearly defined plan wherein objectives are
clearly stated and could easily be understood. Simple language must be used
in order to facilitate understanding of the plan.
Frequency – refers to the number of times or instances a plan may be used. For
example, strategical plans have single use, while operational plans are usually
standing or are used frequently or several times.

lOMoARcPSD|29183733
TYPES OF PLANS
STRATEGIC PLAN
•plans that establish the organization's overall goals and apply to the entire firm
based on the company's vision, mission and values as a whole
•indicates the important decisions made within a business
•Are usually broad in scope and are the responsibility of the organization's CEO,
president and general manager of the company.
OPERATIONAL PLAN
•plans that are applied to a particular unit area only and the scope is narrow
•also includes the formulation of on-going plans that explains the specific operation of
the organization
•a company's goal may not be achieved if the operational plans are not clear
•on-going plans can be in any of these forms:
•Policy - a set of principles that guide managers in addressing a particular issue
•Rule - a regulation which describes and regulates the functions of an organization

•Procedure - a step-by-step process in accomplishing a task or achieving an
objective
TACTICAL PLAN
•is the support of strategic plan because it includes approaches that will be used in
performing the strategic plan
•translate broader plans into functional goals for each area or department
•tactical planning is short-term and is focused
CONTINGENCY PLAN
•is created when changes occur due to unexpected events in order to achieve the
company's goal
•As the popular phrase goes " Just in case Plan A will fail, you still have Plan B, C
and so on.
As you can see in the illustration above, there is a hierarchy of plans that starts
from the top which is the organization as a whole (strategic plan), then another plan
which will be executed by the specific unit/department (operational plan) who will be
working on the plans to achieve the organization’s goal. If the plan fails due to
unexpected changes, there should be another option (contingency plan).
Steps in Planning (Schermerhorn, 2008)

1. Define your goals/objectives by identifying desired outcomes /results in very
specific ways.
2. Determine where you stand in relation to set goals/objectives; know your
strengths and weaknesses.
3. Develop premises regarding future conditions; anticipate future events,
generate alternative <scenarios= for what may happen; identify for each
scenario things that may help or hinder progress toward your goals/objectives.
4. Analyze and choose among action alternatives; list and carefully evaluate
possible actions and choose the alternative most likely to accomplish
goals/objectives.
