REVIEW THE PAST, PLAN THE FUTURE – 2020 STAKEHOLDERS MEETING
Planning increases efficiency, facilitates proper coordination, gives right direction and helps an organization to achieve set objectives. It is unarguably the key to success and any individual or organization that fails to plan will invariably end up in a deep ditch because as the popular saying goes, he who fails to plan is planning to fail.
