Hello class,
According to the reading for this week, I gather that the difference between Planning and Control is simply this. Planning is when a single person or a group of people get together and bring forth an idea which eventually takes shape and is formed. The Control part on the other hand, ensures that the current plans are steered in the right direction not veering off to the right nor left. Control makes sure that things dont go off track or gets out of hand, hence the name. Both phases work hand in hand and relies one upon the other. Planning is the beginning process and Controlling makes sure the process ends well. There will be no Controlling phase unless some type of plan is put in place.
In the past, I have seen many plans, both inside and outside of the military, as perfect as they were, came to zero. One of which I will share, happened a few years ago. My unit was going out of state to do some training and I was tasked to drive a bus with some soldiers on it. A good inspection was conducted on the bus, and everything looked good. A short distance away after leaving our home station, the bus started acting up. It was sputtering and stuttering and spewing black smoke everywhere. It barely got up to thirty miles an hour on flat surfaces. It struggled up hills, but rolled down hills quickly, just like those vehicles in the cartoon characters the flintstones.
After about three hours or so of this painful journey, we finally made it to our destination. I was surprised that this bus ever made it there at all. The bus was eventually towed back to our home state to the support garage and the final synopsis was that the injectors and pump were worn out. This goes to show that sometimes, our best well thought out plans can still go bad.

Good afternoon Class,
This week we are required to discuss the relationship between planning and control and give examples. According to week 8 lesson and businessmanagementideas.com website, planning and control are interconnected in the sense that planning provides the basis for control while control checks that whatever is planned is working according to the standards in the plan. For example, in the education sector, they set rules for students, design a curriculum and test standards for students to meet and that is planning. In order to ensure that standards in planning is met, teachers need to check students’ attendance, coursework and discipline. If they identify any shortcoming, they find a way to correct it and that is control. It means that without control even though there is good plan for the students, it may not yield the result that is expected because students may do what they want due to the absence of checks and monitoring. The same applies to the workplace, planning defines specific, measurable and relevant objectives and goals and control checks and monitor that certain standards are followed to achieve goals and if goals are not achieved, control provides the avenue to make corrections and rectify the situation. So control does not happen without planning and planning is not effective without control. While planning set the objectives, control checks performance, make corrections and adjustment to plan to achieve results.
