Step 8
On a regular basis, all activities should be monitored and checked to make sure that activities have been carried out and that the buisness plan is achieiving what was planned.
It is all so easy to make decisions by "Knee jerk reaction" that is constantly putting out fires, but never achieving control. So remember, always keep the big picture in your mind, and stay foccused on the job of achieving your goals. If an objective is not met, ask, "Why not?"
If objectives are not met, then, a good revaluation of your plan may be required. Look at and evaluate all your objectives to see what and why objectives were not achieved, which in turn leads to better planning.
