Techniques of Planning

Planning will be useful only when it is effectively implemented. The following techniques makes the planning effective.
1. Consciousness for Planning: Planning will be effective only when there is proper climate for it.
The superiors should try to set objectives, review various goals and redraft them as is required for their effective implantation. The hurdles in the ways of planning should be removed. Every body should extend willing and co-operation for making the plans successful.
2. Initiative at top level: The initiative and support of top level management is essential for making the plans effective. The involvement of lower level management is also essential because execution will be more at these levels.
3. Proper communication: Communication among different levels in the organisation is very essential. If plans are not properly understood by those who are to implement them then these may not accheive the desired results. Communication provides a channel for the exchange of information among various persons without a proper communications system planning is bound to fail.
4. Participation in planning: The method and extent of participation will depend upon the type of organisation participating of persons at different levels may help in proper implementation of plans.
5. Emphasis on planning: Both long terms and short term plans should get proper emphasis. For effective implementation of planning both long-term and short-term plans should be given on equal weight-age.
6. Timing: Since the planning process is complex of any major and derivative plans and since plans are necessarily related to one another, it is important that they fit together, not only in terms of content and action, but also in terms of timing.
