BUSINESS PLANNING


1. DEFINITION
Planning is a feature of everyday living – weather at home or in business. Without it our lives would be totally chaotic and random.

Plans vary from imprecise vague statements to thick volumes prepared over a long period.

Some are useful; other a waste of time. Very few remain unaltered

People are frequently asked to prepare plan with no guidance at all, and the result often falls short of expectations.

2. WHAT IS A PLAN?
Ø A PLAN:
· Has objectives which can be measured
· Answers questions that stakeholders should be asking
· Builds in options and contingencies
· Identifies and quantifies risks
· Sets out how to minimise those risks or the adverse consequences that might arise from them
· Allows progress to be measured

Ø Planning involves:
· Management and executive time and input
· Commitment
· Cost
· Research
· Assumptions
Therefore, it is important to get it right (or less wrong than the opposition)!

3. WHY PLAN?
For some people planning is second nature: for others it is quite the reverse.
The dangers of poor planning will be more obvious in some environments than others.
The greatest military victories were almost always won where they had been planned thoroughly and all eventualities considered.
Ø Planning gives:
· Certainty
· Measures
· Confidence
· A route map
· Evidence to others of forethought

Speaking practice

I have found Speaking practice one of the best ways to improve my language, as it teaches me the right spelling and pronunciation of words.I do take every single opportunity to speak in English language with my class mates, my flaying instructor and my friends.I advise other to practice as well if they wish to improve their English as few hours in the class room would not be enough.

TV / radio listening

I have started watching and listening to BBC 24 Chanel most of the time when I'm at home, as I found it very helpful in getting the right pronunciation of the words, also by setting subtitle option ON it helps me a lot in improving my spelling skills. However I advise my colleagues to do the same thing, it s relay working.

London visit /Social programme activity






Hyde park is one of my favorite places in London, It is close to my place and that's where i practice my favorite Hobie " Horse Riding " sometimes in the afternoon during the week as it's less bussy then weekends, I love that green spaces, Speaker's corner where people from all over the world, and different religions express there view's with full freedom! . Close to Hyde park corner Station there a medium size garden for a large variety of flowers from all over the world. Also not fare from there there a peacefully coffee shop & restaurant surrounded by lake where you can ride a small boat.
