Planning is the process of identifying an organization's desired goals and creating realistic, detailed plans of action to use organizational resources to meet those goals. As a core management function, planning has multiple organizational dimensions. These include formal processes like long-term strategic planning and business planning, and short(er) term project and operational planning. In each case, the basic steps in the planning process involve creating a road map that outlines the tasks that the organization must accomplish to meet its goals. This course addresses planning as an organizational management function in these several dimensions.
