This document provides an overview of goals, plans, and the planning process. It defines goals as desired future states and plans as the means to attain goals. Goals and plans provide legitimacy, motivation, resource allocation guidance, rationale for decisions, and performance standards. There are strategic, tactical, and operational goals and plans at different organizational levels with time horizons. Effective goal setting involves specific, measurable, challenging yet attainable, time-bound, and relevant goals. Management by objectives (MBO) is a planning approach where managers and employees jointly define goals. Contingency planning prepares for unexpected events. Decentralized planning in high-performing organizations involves employees in the planning process.
