Planning Management - component and comprehension

PLAN - Any procedure used to achieve an objective
STRATEGY - A plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal
MANAGEMENT - Simply the act of getting people together to accomplish desired goals and objectives

Now take these words and treat them like a sandwich = Plan / Strategy / Management

Now you have the term "Planning Management". Planning Management is a procedure that has a strategy core that allows the management of people, places and elements that are all structured together to achieve or realize a desired goal or objective. Planning Management is taking your "this is what I desire to do and what can I do to accomplish it" and transforming it into "This is how it will be done". To plan can be viewed as an art or as a science, depending on what length will you take it to. An artform would be to structure it in a way that everything flow ever so smoothly and in scienceform, each milestone and component should deliver the desired output (production) and desired outcome (behavior). When planning management becomes successful, then the goal or objective is achieved with precision.

Planning Management has four components that comprise of its foundation and core. The Materials (what you need), The Strategy (establishing role and delivery of each part, The Timeline (when will each and the whole be done), and The Execution (the right time and follow through to activate) All of these element put together deliver streamlining to realize your idea or thought within a nutshell and one cannot function without the other.

Let take a look at something very simple: Planning a Barbecue
Materials - food to cook, eating and handling utensils, cleaning supplies, grill, containers, chairs and tables

Strategy - when to cook food, management of guests, what should be cooked in order, containers to put food in, when to invite guests, how many chairs and tables

Timeline - cook food by this time, set up by this time, shut down at this time etc

Execution - taking all three and deciding when to follow through!

Sounds easy right? How many people actually think like this? The answer is so many that they do not even realize it. We are smarter than we give ourselves credit for and 90% of the time, we can get things accomplished the way we think that they should come to pass.
