Teacher

Exactly, resources include anything that helps us achieve our goals. Now, resources can be classified into two categories: human and non-human. How would you define each?

Student 2

Human resources are things like knowledge and skills, right?

Teacher

Correct! And non-human resources include things like money and materials. This leads us to the first memory aid: think of 'HUMAN' for knowledge and skills, and 'MONEY' for the material resources we need.

Introduction to Planning

Unlock Audio Book

Signup and Enroll to the course for listening the Audio Book

Planning is the first step in any management process. It helps us to visualise the path to reach our goals. In other words, to plan is to produce a scheme for action to achieve specified goals by using the available resources.

Detailed Explanation

Planning involves thinking ahead and creating a roadmap for how to achieve specific objectives. It serves as a guiding principle, helping individuals make informed decisions about their actions and resource usage. Good planning helps clarify what needs to be accomplished and determines the best way to reach those goals effectively.

Examples & Analogies

Think of planning like mapping out a road trip. Before you hit the road, you look at a map (or GPS), decide your destination, and outline the best route to take. You consider which roads to take, how long it might take, and what stops you want to make along the way. This ensures that you reach your destination smoothly and efficiently.

Basic Questions for Effective Planning

To plan effectively to achieve a goal, you must ask the following four basic questions:
1. What is our present situation?
2. Where do we want to reach?
3. What is the gap?
4. How can we reach our desired goals?

Detailed Explanation

These questions guide the planning process. Understanding your present situation helps you recognize your current resources and limitations. Setting specific goals clarifies the target you want to reach. Identifying the gap reveals what you need to change or achieve to meet your goals. Finally, determining how to reach those goals involves strategizing the actions you'll need to take.

Examples & Analogies

Imagine preparing for a big game. You first assess your current skills (present situation), decide you want to win (where you want to reach), identify what skills you need to improve to win (the gap), and devise a training plan to build those skills (how to reach your desired goals).

Steps in Planning

The basic steps in planning are:
1. Identifying the problem
2. Identifying different alternatives
3. Choosing between alternatives
4. Acting to carry out the plan
5. Accepting the consequences

Detailed Explanation

These steps create a structured approach to achieving goals. Identifying the problem sets the focus, while considering alternatives offers various options. Choosing an alternative is about making a decision based on analysis. Acting means implementing the chosen plan, and accepting the consequences allows for learning from the outcomes, whether successful or not.

Examples & Analogies

Think about planning a surprise birthday party. First, you identify the problem (not having a party planned). Next, you brainstorm options (different venues, themes, and catering). You pick one option (the backyard with a BBQ) and put it into action by inviting friends and buying decorations. After the party, you reflect on what went well and what could be better for next time.
