"He who every morning plans the transaction of the day and follows out that plan, carries a thread that will guide him through the maze of the most busy life. But where no plan is laid, where the disposal of time is surrendered merely to the chance of incidence, chaos will soon reign." Victor Hugo (1802 - 1885)

Practical Planning Skills for Middle Managers

“Learn the vital skills of planning to leverage yourself to the next level”
by Dr. Adalat Khan

Date & Venue
10th - 11th Mar 2010,The Legend Hotel,Kuala Lumpur

Dear Friend,

The word "plan" is derived from the Greek word "planasthai" which means wandering around without obstacles, like the "planets" do. The later word "PLANUS" became the old English word "PLAIN," meaning "level country," or "an area that is free from impediment to the view." Still later, it also meant"something that is evident to the mind."

For our purposes, a PLAN indicates an orderly arrangement of all parts of an objective, so one can see and understand the whole project from beginning to end and wander around it in one's mind and visualize its execution or theorize improvements to it. So, for the manager, a PLAN is the formulation of a program of actions, a method of doing things to reach a goal, expressed in "plain" language, so that it is simple to understand by all concerned and therefore makes it easy to coordinate the actions of everybody with those of the leader. A PLAN consists of clear goals, policies, and procedures to get from where you are to where you want to be.
