Operational Plans 2012

Every business has goals and objectives. An operational plan
addresses these requirements and it needs to ask what resources
are required, what tasks need to be accomplished, who needs to
take what actions and what timeframe will this occur over?

In many ways, operational planning is operational thinking and problem
solving. The plan you produce is simply the output of how efficient, practical,
creative, consultative and strategic you can be.
