DRAW THE HORIZON Planning, programming and management control are processes that complement each other. Each phase is characterised by a time horizon that is getting shorter and shorter.

ORIENT YOUR FUTURE = Strategic planning: translates your company’s mission into strategic goals to be achieved in the long term. It is important because it defines the future of the company itself and orients all its work; 2. ACTONTIME = Tactical planning: strategic objectives are “translated” into concrete actions to be carried out within a given period of time, usually from 3 to 5 years; 3. MOVE WITH STRATEGY = Operational planning: transform your tactical objectives into operational objectives, i.e. goals to be achieved within a short period of time through a series of strategic actions. Usually this period well encompasses a year’s work. PLANNING & MANAGEMENT
