01 (b) Planning Process.pptRYFHGHGCFFGER

FRTYR

1. Planning is a systematic method
of decision-making and problem-
solving which points out the risks
and opportunities you face as you
travel into the unknown.
It combines your experience and
knowledge with realistic
assessments of where you are
and where you would like to be.
It makes you think of your
future in terms of facts instead
of fantasies and empowers you
to control the future.
