Planning is essential at all levels of the Halliburton Organization. Planning is a methodical approach for translating the company mission and vision into strategies and action plans that respond to the customer, stockholders, and employees, as well as regular day to day requirements and changes in the economy. The approach and action plans are developed within the company. Products and service lines support task and Business regions to support their strategies, allowing an organization to become one and implementing the system and achieving the global strategic objectives. Plans also include risk identification, controls, and contingency plans to control and mitigate threats.
In any organization risk assessment plays a significant role. Risk assessment involves the detection of all potential threats, vulnerabilities that an organization can face. Identifying the threats and vulnerabilities prepares the organization for the worst that could happen during its functioning. Risk assessment involves not only identification but also mentioning the mitigation techniques that the organization should follow to continue the business. Business Recovery Plan: Business recovery plan is a document developed by an organization to recover its business after a disaster.
.... It is the directors’ responsibility to identify potential risks that the company is likely to face or risks already faced by the company. This is basically to prevent such risk to arise again that may negatively affect the company’s operation. By identifying the risks, it allows the company to prepare step by step solutions to prevent or overcome such risk beforehand. It also allows company to take control of risks before risks affect the company seriously.
Planning can be used to help the organization map out a way to efficiently achieve their goals. The beginning of the planning process should include analyzing of the current situation. From this information the company can determine the goals and start to outline the steps that need to be taken to ensure that the goal will be met. Other planning activities that should be completed are determining the company’s objectives and were they want to be in the future. This will help them to choose their business objectives and strategies. In addition, the company should look at the resources that they have available and determine if they are sufficient to achieve the organizations goals.
