Planning is an important process for organizations that involves thinking about and organizing activities to achieve goals. It bridges the gap between the current situation and desired objectives. Key aspects of planning include that it is goal-oriented, looks ahead, involves choice and decision making, and is a primary management function. The planning process typically involves strategic, operational, and result management planning. Strategic planning deals with the future at a broad conceptual level. Operational planning focuses on short term goals. Result management planning monitors the implementation of strategic and operational plans. Advantages of planning include increased efficiency, reduced risks, and proper coordination, while disadvantages can include rigidity, time consumption, and false sense of security.
