What is corporate planning?

It might seem frivolous to generate business plans for the next three to five years when it seems like we’re facing a new disruption every three to five days. But during times like these, intentionality and planning are most important. When faced with uncertainty, a comprehensive, flexible corporate plan can actually help the business and its various branches stay on course.

The corporate planning process is essential to executing your business plan. Here’s what you need to know to engage in corporate strategic planning.

Why Corporate Strategic Planning Matters

There are different types of planning in the business world, and they can sometimes run together. But a corporate plan isn’t just a business plan by another name: They’re two separate items, and each one plays an essential role in moving your company forward. 

Here are some of the differences between business planning and corporate planning, as well as why corporate planning is essential for bringing the business plan to life.

Business Planning vs. Corporate Planning

The business plan typically covers the business’s long-term goals, especially concerning the industry and other external forces. The business planning stage often occurs at the company’s inception or before a significant change is made. The business plan should be reviewed and updated frequently (at least once every one or two years).

Exercises like strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats (SWOT) analysis are deployed at the business planning stage to get a sense of the business compared to competitors.

Corporate planning , on the other hand, looks internally. Corporate planning answers the question of how you’ll carry out the business plan. Corporate plans should span three to five years. Their goal is typically to align business units that have traditionally operated in silos and govern core services like HR, payroll, accounting, IT, and security.

Corporate strategic planning uses similar exercises (such as the SWOT analysis ) to arrive at broad operating principles and strategic actions to carry out the business plan.

The Importance of Corporate Planning

Your corporate plan may seem less important than the broader vision set out in the business plan. But without the corporate plan, the business plan has no movement. The principles and actions laid out in the corporate plan are necessary to bring the business plan to life.

If one of your business goals is to increase company profits by 25% within the next five years, for instance, you need a corporate plan to visualize the steps you’ll have to take internally to get there. One key aspect of turning a profit is reducing operating costs. HR can work with other department heads to evaluate employee efficiency, spot weaknesses, and develop a plan to increase profit per employee.

3 Types of Corporate Planning

Your overarching corporate plan should connect areas that have historically existed in silos. Develop corporate plans that cut across and pull together the different types of work within the company. 

Here are three types of corporate planning to implement at your company.

Strategic Planning 

The corporate strategic planning process evaluates the resources available to the company and identifies gaps that you will need to fill to drive business results. These could be gaps within tangible resources (inventory, technology, or headcount) or intangible (institutional knowledge or role-specific skills). 

Strategic planning usually starts in the same place as the business plan: the C-suite, with critical internal stakeholders present. Business and department leaders need to have a conversation to identify the resources the company will need to carry out the business plan.

The strategic planning process provides a high-level blueprint of your corporate plan and feeds into the operational and project planning processes.

Operational Planning

Operational planning takes the business plan and lays out the actions you’ll need to take internally to reach those goals. Within the operational plan, you’ll assign individual people to take ownership of those actions. 

An objectives and key results (OKR) framework can help take the high-level business plan down to the level of individual actions. Using this model, business leaders set strategic goals at the top, moving down the organization from corporate management to individual team members.

At the team level, managers and employees review the business’s strategic goals and craft their objectives that drive these priorities forward. This process results in clear ownership over each smaller objective feeding into the company’s larger business goals. 

Additionally, bringing employees into the process to identify how they can support the business strategy often results in creative solutions to challenging problems. Employee innovations can be standardized and fed into the next round of corporate planning.

Project Planning

Project planning breaks down the business plan into individual projects with defined objectives. The project plan provides a blueprint for project managers to keep costs, schedules, and resources on track to deliver the plan’s results. Where operational planning bridges the strategic and project planning processes, project planning is purely tactical.  

With your company OKRs in place, bring project managers on board to help execute them efficiently and effectively. Work with your project managers to evaluate your resources and create a realistic plan for achieving company priorities.

3 Stages of Corporate Planning

Corporate planning is a complex process that requires time and dedication at each stage. The corporate planning process follows three defined stages:

Formulation

Forming the corporate plan is the first step. It should build on the business plan and will require input from critical stakeholders. At this stage, be sure to incorporate some scenario planning. The process of setting long-term objectives for the business plan should have anticipated potential future scenarios. Work contingencies into your final result to account for these scenarios as you form your corporate plan.

You need to create a plan that can flex without breaking, so return to the different types of corporate planning as you form your plan. What skill gaps might be amplified, for example, if the economy rebounds and the demand for your product or service doubles? How might that scenario change the actions you’ll have to take or the resources at your disposal?

Formulating a flexible plan on the front end requires a lot of work but improves your ability to implement and execute successfully.

Implementation

Putting the plan into action requires clear roles and defined ownership over each objective. Before you can implement your corporate plan, you need to confirm buy-in and commitment from each person involved. Without a firm commitment, implementation often fails.

Implementing the plan comes down to setting all of the processes into motion at a high level. This could include authorizing the use of agreed-upon resources, for example, or consulting with team leads as they begin to execute their portions of the plan.

Your job isn’t complete just because you’ve set the plan into motion. You must constantly evaluate your corporate plan as it’s in progress and after it’s done. Check in frequently with department heads and managers to monitor their progress toward their portions of the plan.

Once you have completed your corporate plan, conduct a post-mortem to review what worked and what you need to improve as you design and implement your next plan. At this point, it’s a good idea to revisit your SWOT analysis. How have your strengths and weaknesses shifted? How have your opportunities and threats evolved? 

The answers to these questions can feed into the next planning round, providing essential data and a frame of reference from previous experience executing a corporate strategy.

5 Elements of Successful Corporate Plan

The stages of corporate planning inform your process at a higher strategic level. But taking that process down to the tactical, day-to-day level is as important (if not more so) as the process of setting the plan at the top.

Drafting and implementing a successful corporate plan requires a steady tactical process and effective communication across organizational levels. Here’s a framework for outlining and executing your corporate plan.

Establish the Plan’s Objectives

Start with the business strategy and plan. What are the business objectives that the corporate plan needs to achieve? Drive these objectives down to the lowest levels of the company. Everyone must get an opportunity to think strategically and offer suggestions for achieving the larger business strategy.

Don’t be too proud to consult employees on the front lines regarding better and more effective working methods. Front-line employees often have the most significant insights into the processes and actions that bring the most value and drive the best results.

Develop Strategies for Achieving Goals

Break the larger plan down into specific projects and actions, with metrics indicating the success or failure of each venture. Using an OKR framework, each objective should have defined key results that show whether the company has met its objectives. This makes it easy to track progress toward larger business goals.

This is where you can get creative with operations and resources, especially human resources. Don’t confine your objectives to existing teams or departments. One of the keys to harnessing enterprise agility is assembling cross-functional teams to cut across silos. 

Cross-functional teams can be risky, especially if the team members have never worked together. Such teams bring together different viewpoints and ways of working that can cause friction. But with the right facilitator, that healthy conflict can bring your corporate plan to life.

Implement Your Corporate Plan

Successfully implementing a corporate plan requires effort and input from every team member. To get that buy-in, employees at all levels — especially the front lines — need to see their role in moving the plan forward. 

An OKR framework gives the sense of a flattened hierarchy where individuals can see their roles much more clearly. And when employees can see how they move the needle on business results, they bring more engagement and productivity to achieving them.

However, poor management can snuff out that engagement. To support the plan’s tactical implementation, train managers to manage work by outcomes rather than managing the employees themselves.

Keep Track of the Plan’s Performance

Just because you’ve implemented the plan doesn’t mean you’re done with it: Consult each team lead with ownership over each objective. Ask for their honest input on how the plan is progressing. Make sure that the owner of each objective knows that it’s better to admit that something isn’t working than to keep concentrating employee efforts on the wrong results or no results at all.

With a flexible corporate plan, you can course-correct if it isn’t producing the results you anticipated. In this case, you may need to implement one of your scenario plans to keep things moving forward and in the right direction. 

One clear metric for tracking a plan’s performance is to align the key results with employee performance metrics. If employees are achieving their outcomes and are connected with the plan’s outcomes, you can see at a glance when something is off track.

Analyze the Impact of the Plan

After you have executed the plan, spend time analyzing its impact. Did it create the intended results at each point? What could you and your team have done differently to make a more significant impact? 

Bring individuals in from across the organization to help with this post-mortem. Ask them to share their insights and experiences regarding the plan’s strengths and where it was weakest. Then, gather input on overcoming these challenges in future corporate plans.

Once you’ve gathered input from a representative slice of the workforce, sit down with the leadership team to apply these insights to the next planning process.

Achieve Your Vision

We can’t know the future, but we can set clear directions we want our companies to take. And, with a clear sense of our business plan and desired business outcomes, we can anticipate the potential challenges to getting there. The corporate strategic planning process takes our vision for the business and makes it possible to achieve.

Corporate planning isn’t an easy process: It forces you to be intentional, seek out new perspectives, and implement innovative ideas. But when successful, your corporate plan drives actual business results, helping you turn your business vision into reality.

Corporate Planning Definition

Corporate Planning is defined as forming long-term goals and objectives within the organization’s strengths and weaknesses in the existing and prospective environment.

This is done to ensure the achievement of their plans by combining their short-term and long-term objectives or bringing amendments in the structural working in the organization’s composition.

In the words of David E. Hussey, writer of the book- Corporate Planning: Theory and Practice-

Corporate planning includes the setting of objectives, organizing the work, people and systems to enable those objectives to be achieved, motivating through the planning process and through the plans, measuring performance and so controlling progress of the plans and developing people through better decision-making, clearer objectives, more involvement, and awareness of progress.

What is Corporate Planning Strategy?

Corporate Planning is a strategic process applied by several business organizations to form a roadmap to grow in the market, enhance profits, gain industrial exposure, and strengthen brand identity.

It is a vital tool that successful business organizations use to leverage their existing resources better and more analytically than competitors.

It is the determination of business goals, formulation of diverse strategies for attaining objectives, transforming the goals into tactical plans, implementing and reviewing it to find out the progress of strategies, and finding out loopholes.

Different factors around which corporate planning is channelized via effective SWOT analysis and process of corporate management are-

Importance of Strategic Corporate Planning

Long-term goals

In the current modern era, corporate planning holds a crucial position in a business organization, be it large-sized, medium, or even a new entrant.

The importance of corporate planning can be justified because some companies even hire departmental corporate managers to check the industry’s current scenario and the current status of the organization in the market.

Some of the points that describe the need and importance of corporate planning are mentioned below:

1. Long-term goals

Corporate Planning broadly focuses on long-term goals and sets a blueprint to achieve them in a stipulated period. Long-term goals help an organization keep its core focus on maintaining its efforts, workforce, and efforts on a pre-decided target.

Corporate Planning keeps the employees engaged in their respective tasks with deadlines and ensures effectiveness and efficiency. It also brings harmony, peace, and cooperation among the employees and supervisors in a firm as they all smoothly work towards a common objective.

A strategic business plan helps a business organization provide a focal point not to get deviated or distracted from its end goal. The first and foremost step of corporate planning involves devising a mission statement that tells the world its roles and objectives.

Formulation of a mission statement aids the firm stick to its focus, do all the requisite tasks, assign responsibilities to the employees, and evaluate their work to achieve that final destination.

3. Better Decisions

Developing a strategic plan helps a company make better decisions that are beneficial and helpful in attaining the mission statement. A corporate plan should be structured to spell all the information in the organization’s interest, like the skills required with the employees, machinery or equipment required, etc.

Forming a roadmap to achieve the final goal helps the business people hire the best personnel for their form, arrange funds according to the tasks, and further invest in the most viable propositions.

4. A Measure of Success

Corporate planning also acts as a yardstick to determine an organization’s success in achieving its goals. A firm shall periodically analyze its work to check its progress and make further amendments like replacing personnel, hiring more employees, arranging more funds, upgrading the machinery, etc.

Finding, evaluating, and analyzing the loopholes periodically that block the ways of achieving the mission statement helps in the upgradation of the work and ensure efficiency and effectiveness of the tasks devised. The touchstone function of corporate planning works best in the organizations that devise plans that allow for changes in attaining the tasks.

5. Saves money

The extra benefit associated with corporate planning is that it forms budgets that help save substantial sums. Budgeting allows a firm to allocate its financial resources to the projects that require it the most by cutting out unimportant expenses.

Having a detailed budget tells how much cash is earned, spent, or lent. This wipes out confusion regarding the amount of money allocated to different projects.

Objectives of Corporate planning in Management

Following are the basic objectives of corporate plans:

1. Setting a strategy

The fundamental objective of framing a corporate plan is setting a business strategy. At this stage, companies should look at the opportunities and analyze the threats in the market. For this, they can make a SWOT analysis and select viable propositions for investing their funds.

2. Planning the operations

Once a firm knows its mission statement, it can use these objectives and find ways of attaining them. The sole purpose of corporate planning is to help a firm plan and prepare a list of resources it requires to deliver to achieve its goals.

3. Monitoring and Control

There should be measurable indicators present in a strategic plan to evaluate the progress of the work rate vis-à-vis the initial plans. It mainly includes financial theory related to accounts, the value of output, etc.

Establishing and forming well-devised instruments to devise annual reports is a crux to a successful corporate plan. Since the market environment constantly changes with events happening in the economy, a company regularly needs to review its plans, policies, and even rules and regulations associated with the operations.

Elements of Successful Corporate Plan

Gathering information

There are six elements in a successful corporate plan:

1. Gathering information

Having all the information related to the firm, industry, and competitors are the primary step towards a well-defined corporate plan. Either a business is big or small, it should be aware of the happenings in the market in its sectors, find out opportunities, grab them at the right moment and beware of the threats.

2. Set the objectives of the plan

Having a well-devised mission statement helps a firm stick to its focus of achieving it and keeps all the strategic work smooth in operations. Setting objectives helps form a clear mind about the work done, and the purpose of doing the work makes it fascinating.

3. Devise strategies to meet goals

Having a blueprint helps in effectively achieving the objectives. Forming strategies define the work to be done by the employees. Managers and leaders mainly devise strategies considering the funds available, personnel in the organization, and the deadline to achieve the requisite target. It brings efficiency to the operations of a business.

4. Implementing the plan

The next step is to implement the plans effectively. It involves the execution of the assigned tasks by the personnel within the guidelines and deadlines set. It involves the execution of the assigned tasks by the personnel within the guidelines and deadlines set.

5. Monitor plan performance

An organization should monitor its work by forming progress reports, finding the drawbacks, and work on them immediately.

6. Evaluate the effectiveness of the plan

In the end, a firm should see if the corporate strategy devised by it is competitive or up to the market standards. A plan should be challenging to achieve. A plan that is easy to achieve may not be a viable option in the existing scenario. This may require the organization to reset its plans and considering the market standards.

What to include in a Strategic Corporate Plan?

1. vision statement.

The vision statement of a business talks about business goals that it is supposed to achieve. While planning your corporate strategy, it is important to focus on your vision statement. You should also plan as per your short as well as long term goals. Your goals should be backed for your strategic planning, plus your goals should also be SMART.

2. Mission statement

Next thing upon which you should pay heed while making corporate planning is a mission statement. It tells you how you are going to achieve your vision statement. It will let you know what you are planning to offer, the target market, and the USP of your company. It will offer an elevator pitch to your corporate planning just in a few lines.

3. Resources and scope

Your corporate planning should also pay attention to things that you have in your organization such as your systems, structures, employees, products, accounting, assets, divisions, programs, finance, etc that play a key role in accomplishing your goals. You need to map the current structural existence of your organization to have a proper view of things incorporated and associated with your organization.

4. Objectives

You should also include different business objectives and the ways you are going to measure success in your corporate planning strategy. Here, your objectives need to be measurable, strategic, realistic, achievable, and time-driven. Including vague objectives in your corporate planning statement is of no use here. Different types of objectives might include financial objectives, customer objectives, internal objectives, learning, and growth objectives.

5. Strategies

Finally, you should include strategies that will help you accomplish your business objectives. Such strategic planning can be for launching any new product, or decreasing labour costs by a certain percentage, but your strategies have to directly address the associated objectives. You should also chalk out a proper plan for implementing those strategies.

Here is a video by Marketing91 on Corporate Planning.

Corporate planning vs. Business Planning

Business planning involves strategies that a business uses and applies to attain its goals and objectives. Corporate planning consists of strategies that the employees follow to meet the objectives of an organization. The following points highlight the difference between corporate planning and business planning:

1. Interdependency

A business plan may exist without a corporate plan, but its strategies are linked with corporate plans. Without business planning, the goals and objectives of a firm would be ambiguous. Thus, both business plans and corporate plans are complementary to each other.

A planning process aids a business to succeed in the market and suggests new directions and amendments as per the industry’s short as well as long-range requirements. Thus, there can be several diversified effects on business and corporate plans.

3. Considerations

Corporate planning reviews each step of the working of an organization devised for achieving the mission statement. However, a business plan focuses on the organization’s overall goals, objectives, and progress. To evaluate the tasks, a business should consider several factors such as progress rate, personnel performance, requisite funds for further operations, and many more.

What Are the Functions of Corporate Planning?

by George N. Root III

Published on 26 Sep 2017

Corporate planning is the process of creating a method to achieving a goal, and then monitoring the success or failure of that process. The results generated by a successful plan are sometimes positive, sometimes negative but always educationally beneficial to the company. In order to create successful business plans, you first must understand their more important corporate functions.

There is no plan that can completely eliminate risk, but one of the functions of corporate planning is to reduce uncertainty in the corporate process, according to the business experts at the Management Study Guide website. When you create a comprehensive business plan, you identify as many of the potential challenges the company will face on the way to reaching the goal. This planning can help profile each individual challeng, and then create ways to them as they occur.

A company operates under a mission statement and a set of policies that are intended to create a uniform company approach. This helps employees, customers and vendors to understand how a company will react in almost any given situation. One of the functions of corporate planning is to make sure that each plan stays in line with the company's chosen method of operation, according to business planning experts at the Consulting Network website. This keeps all of the company correspondence and business relationships consistent, which presents an organized and professional image to the marketplace.

A comprehensive corporate plan includes detailed information on how the various responsibilities in the plan will be delegated, according to the management experts on the NetMBA website. In order to successfully implement a plan, there needs to be a designation as to who will be taking care of the various aspects and how those elements will come together. Without a corporate plan in place, there would be a misuse of available personnel that could cost the company money and time.

The financial function of any corporate plan is to measure the company's progress versus goals. Each year a company creates a set of financial goals for each department and for the company in general. Those goals are then used to create a focus for each of the corporate plans that are developed. As a company executes its plans, it can measure its progress in each plan against the financial projections for the year and make any adjustments necessary to help reach those projections.

What Is Corporate Planning?

Corporate planning is setting long-term objectives and goals within the organization’s scope to enable an environment conducive to growth in terms of revenue and profit margins. It includes defining strategies, decision-making, and allocating resources. The corporate planning strategy aids the whole team to work in one direction- the organization’s goals.

A corporate planning cycle is a dynamic and continuous process throughout the organization’s life. Through planning on a corporate level, hurdles that might hinder the growth towards the pre-determined goals come to light, and the management can provide solutions to solve them. Moreover, it allows the company to manage its resources more efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Recommended articles, key takeaways.

Corporate planning is the process through which the organizations’ goals are set with a clearly defined plan to achieve them. Then, it allows them to find opportunities and methods that facilitate the efficiency of the whole process.

The planning process’s effectiveness depends on the data of the company’s strategies, the strengths, weaknesses, and tactics of competitors, and the industry’s growth forecast. However, a wiser way to begin the planning process is by identifying customer needs and finding a solution to meet those needs.

Once the solutions for customer needs are drawn, the company can set quantitative targets such as a certain amount of increase in revenue, gross margin percentages, and productivity. Setting goals that can be quantified is vital; otherwise, growth cannot be calculated in an absolute manner.

Since the area of development and means to measure the improvement are drawn at this point, the company has to design action plans to reach the determined goals. This part of the process is particular and guides the team with the workflow that will help the company achieve its goals and objectives.

As a corporate planning manager, it is essential to look at the developmental aspects of the company from an outsider.- say, a competitor or customer. This helps in drawing a plan that considers a lot more data points. A successful corporate plan has the six elements mentioned below:

#1 – Information

The first step towards creating a foolproof corporate plan is collecting information, regardless of whether the data paints a good or bad picture of the company’s current status. Moreover, similar information about competitors gives an even better view of the areas that can be improved to gain a more significant market share .

#2 – Objectives & Strategies

Objectives refer to the overall outcome of the plan. On the other hand, strategies are specific steps taken to reach organizational goals. For example, objectives could be an increase in sales by 25% or responding to customer support issues within 2 hours. Making a product the market leader by the end of the financial year through influencer and social media marketing could be an example of a strategy.

#3 – Devising a Plan of Action

Once the objectives and goals are devised, the company must articulate a step-by-step plan that helps its employees gain significant insights into the plan’s intricacies. This part of the process could be fulfilled by employee training, a new approach to production, or a change in marketing strategy.

#4 – Implementation

The action is taken toward the objectives and goals of the pillars of the organization’s growth story. Irrespective of how well-planned a strategy is, it will deliver average results unless implemented or executed to perfection. The implementation comes in different forms depending on the specifics of the plan.

#5 – Monitoring

Once the implementation process is underway, the corporate planning manager monitors the progress or decline in following the procedure. Since the plan is not a one-time action, it must be supervised and monitored regularly.

#6 – Evaluation

After a certain period, the manager can check for differences after implementing the corporate planning strategy. The check will provide the management insights into the progress, decline, or stagnancy toward organizational goals.

Since each organization is bound to have different plans based on its organizational framework, management style, and product, naturally, they might want to implement a plan that fits their work style better rather than opting for a generic method. Therefore, let us discuss different types of corporate planning through the points below:

#1 – Tactical Planning

A tactical plan is usually implemented after a strategic plan has been set in motion. A tactical plan is a short-term goal to address immediate goals, which over time, contribute to the bigger plan. Typically, a short-term goal helps tackle hindrances that prevent the company from achieving its medium or long-term goals.

#2 – Contingency Planning

A contingency plan is when a company develops strategies that help them tackle an event from stopping its operations. This strategy is carried out in an adverse scenario, such as a natural calamity or pandemic. However, a contingency plan can also be initiated for positive events, such as a high inflow of unexpected client funds.

#3 – Operational Planning

Operational planning is a form of action where the daily tasks of each employee and manager are specified and monitored. It is usually planned for a period beyond one year. However, to reach short-term objectives that aid the enormous growth of the business, operation planning is a wise choice as it optimally allocates financial, physical, and human resources.

Let us understand the concept with the help of the examples below:

Audacity Corporation manufactures microphones and is one of the market leaders in the domain. They have produced studio and live performance microphones for over half a decade. Their CEO Brendon wanted to ensure that their range of microphones for streamers and gamers were market leaders by the end of the financial year.

To ensure their product was top-selling in the market, they studied their competitors in the domain and found that most of them produced these microphones in-house, and their cost of raw materials was high.

Audacity tied up with companies in China and Taiwan to procure raw materials at lower prices and trained their employees to assemble these products more efficiently.

That year, their streaming and gaming microphones sold 20% more than any competitor.

ExxonMobil is one of the largest oil and gas companies internationally. In their announcement about their corporate plans in 2022, they declared that they plan on increasing their investments in emission reduction solutions.

By 2027 , they plan to increase investments by $17 billion in this domain to gain a competitive advantage over other layers in the market and tackle climate change and carbon emissions.

Advantages And Disadvantages

The extensive planning for the future allows businesses to tackle quite a few situations better. However, they have their set of disadvantages too. Let us discuss the advantages and disadvantages of corporate planning through the points below:

Difference Between Corporate Planning And Strategic Planning

Let us understand the difference between corporate planning and strategic planning through the table below:

Difference Between Corporate Planning And Functional Planning

Let us understand the difference between  corporate and functional planning through the points below:

Functional Planning

A corporate plan is a process that maps out a path through which companies grow in terms of profits, brand identity, and revenue. It is a tool that organizations use to ensure an upper hand over their competitors. Moreover, a corporate plan is a foundation on which a macro-level strategy is built. This macro plan is called strategic planning.

It helps the organization face uncertainties in the future in a better manner as they have planned for contingencies well in advance. Moreover, a clear plan and an objective for each employee give them a sense of belonging and unity.

Since a corporate plan involves the organization’s overall growth, it is vital to ensure that the resources are being used efficiently and there is minimal to no wastage in the process.

The very nature of planning is to ensure the whole process is forward-looking. Moreover, it is a continuous process and a big goal consisting of smaller goals for the short-term that helps the employees and their managers to quantify the growth effectively.

This has been a guide to what is Corporate Planning & its meaning. We explain its process, elements, examples, and advantages and comparison with strategic and functional planning. You can learn more about finance from the following articles –

IV Applications That Lend Themselves to Corporate Planning

In order to understand corporate planning applications, reference can be made to either a manufacturing-oriented company or a service-oriented company. For either type company, corporate planning is linked directly with a company's other activities, that is, planning activities are related to marketing, manufacturing, and finance that are linked to human resources. All of the external- and internal-environmental factors related to these company activities form the basis for short- to long-range corporate planning applications.

Within this broad-based framework, the essential focus of the applications covered in the next sections focus on short-, medium-, and long-range corporate planning. As a starting point for long-range corporate planning, executive visioning can be used by top-level managers to build a consensus around what it plans to accomplish and guides action at the lower and middle-management levels. Typically, top management is assisted by a corporate-planning staff who operate in an environment characterized by numerous product and technological change. The task of the corporate-planning staff is not only to prepare short-to long-range corporate plans using strategic intelligence, but also to monitor current results against these plans. If necessary, the corporate-planning staff should provide feedback to top management when targeted plans are not being met. Feedback gives top management the capability to study alternatives for improving an organization's operations.

Bank Strategic Business Units Planning, Marketing and Risk Management

Leonard Onyiriuba , in Bank Risk Management in Developing Economies , 2016

Learning focus and objectives

Business planning is necessary for success in banking—as in other businesses. It is critical for sustaining banks as going concerns. Good business plans help banks to always focus attention on major financial performance variables and indices—as well as on the risk management demands. Planning especially helps banks to build up, increase, and sustain market share and earnings while mitigating risks. It derives from strategic business unit (SBU) and cost center unit (CCU) activities. Effective business plans require specific actions to be strategic input into the planning process. I set out writing this chapter—bearing this in mind—in order to:

explain the meaning, overview, and significance of business planning for the success of banks in developing economies;

compare strategy with planning for bank business and risk management in developing economies;

demonstrate why and how bank managements should anchor success of operations on clear business planning directives;

assess the challenges of preparing and working out the components of effective banking business plans;

provide tips on how SBU and CCU managers can overcome problems with the presentation of business plans;

discuss the processes of formal approval and review of business plans at monthly performance review (MPR) meetings; and

identify risk management implications of constantly monitoring business plans of the SBUs and CCUs.

Rooting: Show Me the Money!

Aaron W. Bayles , ... Johnny Long , in Infosec Career Hacking , 2005

Planning, Expanding, and Dominating

Organizational and business planning, along with strategy and execution, are three of the most daunting tasks that any company or team faces. Not only must you document your strategy, but you must also include metrics and milestones of success that will only make you look inadequate if you did not do your due diligence during the planning process. In that vein, my grandfather used to tell the parable of the five frogs:

Five frogs were sitting on a log on a hot summer's day. All five sat and croaked to each other, then all decided to jump off. How many remained on the log? The answer is, all of them. The moral of the story is that deciding to do something and actually doing it are two totally different actions.

All strategic plans for your team and organization should be closely tied the execution strategy and plan. Without the ability to execute, the ability to plan and organize is completely useless. My recommendation has been and will continue to be as follows: Create all team goals, milestones, and plans around the execution strategy of your boss. Determine what his business goals are and how he is being graded on performance by his boss, then ensure that your and your team's goals align appropriately.

System integration models and concepts

In Practical E-Manufacturing and Supply Chain Management , 2004

12.5.2 Managing order execution

Plant systems translate business orders into coordinated shop floor schedules such as for work orders or batches and provide results for costing and customer management processes in ERP, so that available production capacity, production resources and work schedules can be coordinated to fulfill customer orders at the lowest cost.

The integration involves technical and business issues that are critical to the success of the project and ultimately affect performance of the business. It is even necessary with packaged applications, as each system is built in its own time with its own context and technology standards.

There are a number of issues that impact the flow of information.

Linking business and plant by information flow

The importance of the link to business performance, such as business planning and plant scheduling, determines how many resources to allocate to the project and who is to be accountable for its execution. For example, integrating quality management information flow is a priority in process manufacturing.

Identifying the business or plant event triggering the flow of information

The trigger may be information flow as a result of a specific business event (such as requesting the status of a customer order) or a technical event, rule, or trigger (such as a batch download of data or a machine stoppage). Three important issues which are driven by the business need for information flow, should be analyzed and planned in the technical and business architecture: technical connectivity, application semantics and data ownership.

Clinical Information Systems

P. Degoulet , ... F.G.B. de Quiros , in Global Health Informatics , 2017

Organizational Aspects

Hospital strategy is defined on a 5-year basis in the strategic planning business report discussed and validated by the hospital general governance committee. It includes an IT strategic plan so that IT strategy can be aligned. The IT strategic plan need to comply with the general AP-HP strategic plan. The CMIO, a physician with IT training, was also appointed as CIO. The CIO/CMIO was a permanent member of the hospital governance committee. The IT governance committee includes the hospital CEO, CMO, CIO/CMIO, and CRIO.

Cases on Investment Banks

Rajesh Kumar , in Strategies of Banks and Other Financial Institutions , 2014

3.2.4 Funding Sources

Balance sheet funding to manage assets and liabilities includes processes such as quarterly planning, business specific limits, monitoring of key metrics, and scenario analysis. The primary sources are secured financings, unsecured long-term and short-term borrowings, and deposits. Funding sources include collateralized financings, repurchase agreements, securities loaned, medium-term notes, savings, and demand deposits through a deposit sweep program, time deposits, and more.

The off-balance sheet arrangements of the group include stakes in special-purpose entities such as mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securitization vehicles, holding senior and subordinated debts and derivatives contracts in interest rates, foreign currency, equity, commodity, credit derivatives, and swaps. The group also enters into operating leases, provides guarantees, letters of credit, and warranties.

Planning: developing business and acquisition plans

Donald M. DePamphilis Ph.D. , in Mergers, Acquisitions, and Other Restructuring Activities (Eleventh Edition) , 2022

Some things to remember

The success of an acquisition depends greatly on the focus, understanding, and discipline inherent in a thorough and viable business planning process. An acquisition is only one of many options available for implementing a business strategy. The decision to pursue an acquisition often rests on the desire to achieve control and a perception that the acquisition will result in achieving the desired objectives more rapidly than other options. After a firm has decided that an acquisition is critical to realizing the strategic direction defined in the business plan, a merger or acquisition plan should be developed.

On-Line Analytical Processing

V. applications that lend themselves to an olap operating mode.

Typically, there are many areas that lend themselves to an OLAP operating mode. Among the major areas are: corporate planning , marketing, manufacturing, finance and accounting, and human resources. In turn, these areas can be broken down by their sub-parts. In the area of corporate planning , a thorough analysis of strategic planning information and knowledge for the short-, medium-, and long-range can produce important input for corporate planners. In the area of marketing , on-line analytical processing can be helpful to marketing managers and personnel in market planning, sales forecasting, market research, sales-order processing, sales analysis, advertising, product pricing, and physical distribution. For the area of manufacturing , viable applications abound for purchasing, production planning and execution, supply operations, inventories, and total quality management (TQM). The area of finance and accounting includes budgeting, financial statement analysis, cost accounting, accounts receivables and payables, source and application of funds, and even payroll. Lastly, in the area of human resources , OLAP can be applied to human resource planning, personnel selection and placement, wage-and-salary administration, and training. Due to space limitations, only the area of sales analysis is presented below.

Tools and methods

Charlotte Håkansson , Margareta Nelke , in Competitive Intelligence for Information Professionals , 2015

The aim of this chapter is to supply a toolbox of commonly used methods for short- and long-term business planning, evaluation and measurement, business environment mapping, prioritising and positioning as well as analyses of markets, competition and other critical parameters for a successful business.

This is just a selection of the methods available – there are many more. An investigation on the Internet, for example, will give many descriptions of different tools to be used. We have selected those which, according to our experience, are relatively useful and also relatively easy to use. War gaming is perhaps the most complicated method in the toolbox as it needs a lot of preparation and also puts high demands on the facilitator. However, it is also a method which, in the right context, gives a lot of useful insights and thus the effort and resources required can be justified.

Most of the methods should be carried out as teamwork with a facilitator leading the sessions. It is important that the participants come to the sessions as well prepared as possible to ensure a successful outcome.

The sessions should be carefully prepared and organised. For example, in analysis sessions, summaries of the results from the capture and manage phase must be known by the participants and these are to be distributed beforehand. If we suspect that the participants have not familiarised themselves with this documentation before the session, which may be the case if they are very busy, the session should open with an oral presentation of the results. It is always of value that the facilitator of the session is an outside person who is not directly involved in the matter. Other tips for organising analysis and other sessions are to see that there is enough to eat and drink and rather to have many shorter sessions than fewer longer ones. The premises should be well ventilated and bright and they should be equipped for writing down and sharing thoughts and ideas with others. To arrange the sessions out of office could also be advantageous, as this means that the participants focus more on the actual session.

When describing the tools the following literature has been used: Åkerblom (1998) , Dragon (2011) , Fehringer and Sawka (2003) , Genf and Laurent (2008) , Kotler and Armstrong (2010) , Lindgren and Bandhold (2003) , Nelke (2006 , 2012 ), Porter (2008) , St Elmo Lewis (1903) , Wikipedia (2014a) .

Meta planning thousands of more cuts after widespread layoffs, report says

In this article

Meta plans another round of layoffs that could affect thousands of workers, according to a Bloomberg News report published Monday evening.

The job cuts could start this week and represent an additional round of layoffs, adding to the 13% of Meta workers who were laid off as part of a major cost-cutting plan announced in November.

A Meta spokesperson declined to comment to CNBC about the report.

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has previously indicated that the social networking giant would be concentrating this year on efforts intended to lower the company's costs, pitching 2023 as the " Year of Efficiency ." He told analysts in February that Meta is focused on "cutting projects that aren't performing or may no longer be crucial" and that it plans on "removing layers of middle management to make decisions faster."

The cost-cutting efforts come at a challenging time for the consumer technology company, which said its cost and expenses jumped 22% year over year to $25.8 billion during the fourth quarter while overall sales dropped 4% to $32 billion.

Meta's core online advertising business continues facing hurdles because of factors including a tough digital advertising market , the lingering effects of Apple 's 2021 iOS privacy update and increased competition from ByteDance-owned TikTok.

Meanwhile, the company continues to heavily invest in developing the metaverse, which Meta believes could represent the next frontier for mainstream computing. The company's Reality Labs division, which is tasked with building the virtual reality and augmented reality technologies needed for the metaverse, brought in $727 million in revenue during the fourth quarter, but also recorded a $4.28 billion operating loss .

Zuckerberg has said that he would "take accountability" for the company's previously announced cost-cutting plans, saying that he views layoffs "as a last resort."

"We're restructuring teams to increase our efficiency," Zuckerberg said last fall when Meta announced layoffs. "But these measures alone won't bring our expenses in line with our revenue growth, so I've also made the hard decision to let people go."
