3. Stages of the planning process

 

  1. Analyze the current situation and environment.

  2. Define the vision and mission.

  3. Set goals and objectives.

  4. Develop strategies and action plans.

  5. Implement and monitor the plan.

Effective planning includes the simplicity of the plan, meaning the plan must be clearly outlined and easily understandable, because if the plan is too complicated, chaos will arise among the members of the organization.
