    WHAT IS PLANNING?

    • Planning is a way of thinking oriented towards the future that

    • It is a systematic process of establishing ends (goals, policies,


    outcomes) and means and procedures to achieve the end.

    • Generic planning is “ubiquitous” but professional planning is


    governed by professional principles, standards and laws.
