Why?!?!

Why, when people plan, in small businesses, large organisations or well - anywhere; do we forget to plan the execution stage?

People obsess in their planning, and even sometimes plan too much.

They plan how things will work, how they will look, what they’ll sound and feel like. They spend hours tweaking, and yet more changing things on the fly.

Books fall off the shelves about planning and project management, and good books too.

So why, with all of this planning, isn’t it obvious one should plan the execution?

What goes first? What goes last? What happens if we don’t follow the order here? Who does what? Who makes decisions? Where are the skills? What are the timescales, and the scope?

Without solid execution, any plan is destine for a hard time - and if you don’t fail and fall flat at the first hurdle, you’re constantly picking up the pieces.

De-stress a little; take your time! Because once you press “Go”, you had better have gotten it right.
