2.  Operational plans should establish the
activities and budgets for each part of her
organization for the most 1-3 years. They
link the strategic plan with the activities the
organization will deliver, and the resources
to deliver then. Operational plans should be
prepared by the people who will be involved

significant cross-departmental dialogue as
plans created by one part of the
organization inevitably have implications for
other parts.

the goals and key objectives of an organization, and how
they can be achieved. It ensures that team members
understand their responsibilities as well as what they need
to do.

communicates to all your employees, supervisors, sales representatives,
drivers and ultimately to your customers through improved service.

to-day crises as well as personnel changes in your organization.

7.  Planning for a few months to a financial

 Planning for details budgeting, provision

 Extensional aspect of long range plan.

9.  Step 1: Review your big picture
Start by taking a step back and looking at the
overarching goals of your business. What are
the main objectives you want to achieve in the
next year or even five years? These could
range from increasing revenue and expanding
market share to improving customer
satisfaction. Assessing the planning
environment, which means environental and
socio -economic cultural peculiarities.

10.  Once you have a clear understanding of your
long-term goals, it’s time to assess your
current situation. Conducting a SWOT
analysis can be a helpful tool here. This
involves identifying your business’s
strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and
threats. It’s about understanding what you’re
doing well, where you could improve, and
what external factors might impact your
business.

11.  With your SWOT analysis in hand, you can
now set specific short-term targets that will
help you achieve your long-term goals. Make
sure these targets are SMART – Specific,
Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and
Time-bound. For example, instead of setting
a vague goal like "increase sales," a SMART
goal would be "increase sales by 10% in the
next quarter."

12.  Next, list out all the resources you will need
to achieve your objectives. This could
include money, staff, equipment, and more.
Also, plan how you will secure these
resources. It might involve hiring new staff,
purchasing equipment, or reallocating
existing resources.

13.  Clearly define who in your team is
responsible for what. Make sure every
member knows their specific duties and the
deadlines associated with them. This helps
in ensuring accountability and that everyone
is on the same page.

14.  Set up regular check-ins, whether weekly,
monthly, or quarterly, to track the progress of
your operational plan. Use these sessions to
identify issues, address problems, and make
necessary adjustments to stay on track.

15.  Finally, understand that no plan is perfect
from the get-go. Be flexible and open to
making changes based on the feedback you
receive and the results you observe. The
business environment is always changing,
and your operational plan should be
adaptable enough to change with it.

16. Following is the check list that can help in evaluating the operational plans:
 Is there total commitment to the plan by staff responsible for
implementation?
 Is operation plan clearly fit with the strategic plan?
 Are objectives, actions and outcome measures clearly specified?
 Does it have a clear implementation timeframe?
 Is there a clear allocation of responsibilities?
 Is there an explicit process for monitoring progress?

17.  Operational planning is a subset of strategic work plan.
 It describes short-term ways of achieving milestones and
explains how, or what portion of, a strategic plan will be put into
operation during a given operational period.
 An operational plan is the basis for, and justification of an annual
operating budget request. Therefore,a five-year strategic plan
would need five operational plans funded by five operating
budgets.
 Operational plans should establish the activities and budgets for
each part of the organization for the next 1-3 years.
 They link the strategic plan with the activities the organization will
deliver and the resources required to deliver them.

18.  An operational plan draws directly from agency
and program strategic plans to describe agency
and program missions and goals, program
objectives, and program activities.
 The operational planning is both the first and
the last step in preparing an operating budget
request.
 Operational plans should be prepared by the
people who will be involved in implementation.

25.  Balancing today's work with tomorrow's goals
It’s tough to manage daily tasks while also thinking
about the future. In business, concentrating only on
today's work can cause us to lose sight of our long-
term goals.
 Gathering reliable information
It's challenging to know what information is important
and what isn't. For example, a business might have
a lot of customer feedback, but figuring out which
comments will help improve the product can be
hard.

26.  Keeping your team aligned
Making sure everyone on a team understands and
follows the plan can be like herding cats. Even
with clear instructions, people might need
clarification. And some might not want to
change the way they work, even if it’s for the
better.
It’s essential to keep everyone on the same page
and moving in the same direction. Think of it as
a boat crew rowing together; if everyone is in
sync, the boat moves smoothly. But if not, it can
be a bumpy ride.
