A strategic planning tool

Strategic planning is the most important part of the job of top managers. They need to plan for the various functions of the organisation such as marketing, finance, operations, supply chain and human resources among others. All these individual functional plans then need to be combined together into a single feasible strategic plan that defines the scope and process to achieve the objectives of the organisation.

To achieve the set goals, top managers need to clearly define each and every step of a plan and methods to implement them. They also need to ensure that these smaller parts of the overall plan are compatible with each other and blend seamlessly into the single larger plan of the organisation.

Such planning requirements necessitate the use of efficient planning tools that are capable of providing a viable solution to the managers. One perfect example of an effective planning tool is Plandisc. Plandisc is a virtual planning tool that can be shared by the top managers with their employees and other stakeholders. It uses circular templates for defining the larger plan of the company and each of its smaller elements.

By breaking the overall plan into smaller units represented by the circular templates of this planning tool, it becomes easier to implement and monitor the efficiency of the plan. Based on the requirements, the managers can add as many circular templates to Plandisc.
These circular planning templates can then be aligned with each other to generate the required combinations.

For a senior manager, who needs to meticulously plan for each and every department or function in the organisation, this circular planning tool is a highly effective device. It makes it possible for them to check and measure the performance of each of the individual parameters and their implications on the overall goals of the organisation.
It allows them to make necessary changes if needed and also understand which the problem areas are.

The circular planning template from Plandisc is a comprehensive planning methodology that makes it convenient for the top management to plan, implement, record and measure the planning processes for the organisation.
