PLANDISC is a unique and fully customizable planning tool designed for your business or organization. At the core, PLANDISC or Planning Cycle seems like no more than a planning template. PLANDISC is, however, much, much more.
PLANDISC Aids Communication
Telling your organization about your plan is never enough. From the shareholders at the top to the lowest man on the totem pole, every member of the team wants to know how your business’s plan will benefit them. To make your message clear, you need the right information and an effective visual aid. PLANDISC gives you the space to house detailed information while providing a clear representation of each sector, or goal, of the given plan. PLANDISC is a fully customizable planning template. Tabs, or sections, sometimes called milestones, can be color coded for easy identification. In addition, circles can be added or deleted in order to represent as many individual components as you find necessary. Every module of the PLANDISC is easily identified at a glance.
The Power of a Visual Aid
People frequently rely on visual aids in presentations because they aid in our communication with others and because they aid in our recall of information. When completed, PLANDISC is a visual representation of your organization’s plan – be it an operational plan, a marketing plan, or a training module for human resource development. Planning Cycle is fully customizable to suit your needs and can easily house additional information in the form of as file attachments.
PLANDISC Aids Recall
Many organizations fall prey to having their operational plans, marketing plans and human resource allocation models in multiple locations. While items are discussed, the relevant files remain tucked away on one person’s computer. With the PLANDISC planning tool, all relevant information can be housed in one, easy to access location. Not only can people easily share information, but team members can see those attachments with just a click. This mere presence of these links makes information accessible, obtainable and more likely to be committed to memory.
Success with PLANDISC
When surveyed, people who were told information only recalled small portions of information. When shown they recalled only a slightly higher percent. Showing and telling, however, led to a retention rate as high as 85%. PLANDISC does both. Your operational plan, marketing plan or resource allocation plan is shown as a visual representation while all of the relevant data can be attached in individual files. Persons with access to your PLANDISC can not only see progression at a glance, they can access, or be told, the information that each step relies on. PLANDISC is a comprehensive planning tool that your business can rely on.
