What is Corporate Planning?

• This is similar to planning your personal life– Set your goals/objectives– Set targets– Put matters in place to meet the goals/objectives and

targets within or before the stipulated time-frame.– If not met, roll over plan to another period that is

considered more timely to meet.– Keep your plan in line with your budget, thus making it

more achievable.

Eg Buying a house and/or a car, planning a pregnancy, identifying your life-long partner, investing in education, etc.

Thank you (-_-).

Corporate Planning with Instructional Design

• ADDIE Process– Quarterly or annual assessment/analysis (using the

Terminal Objective)– Design logic model that creates smoother flow of planning– Development of a performance monitoring system (re

targets) to support results-base criteria– Implementation of activities relating to the targets sets– At the end of the period, evaluate the planning progress

(ties in with the monitoring activities). This will help to determine whether targets were surpassed, underachieved, or unachievable.

Key domain of learning corporate planning and the approaches and theories

• Convergent• Benjamin Bloom’s Influential Toxonomy

(Cognitive and Affective Domains)• Constructivism Theory (given its problem-

solving technique)• Pragmatism (links practice with theory)• Scaffolding (building concepts pre and during

review).• Deductive

Activity [Cognitive and Affective Domains]

• Develop a very brief example of a corporate plan (completing at least 5 rows this time) and align it with the National Development Plan – Vision 2030.
