Certification in Business Planning Management and Development

Planning is a fundamental business management function that can be summed up in four words: what, when, how and who. In other words, it is deciding in advance what task is to be done, when it must be completed, how it’s to be achieved, and who will make it happen. The most successful organisations first plan their work and then work their plan.
