Planning is an effort. It
isn’t executing.
Effort can be confused with
execution.
Action can even be confused
with execution.
<figure class="wp-block-table">
What does Plan look like? | What does Execute look like? |
| Gathering information, even to lead to a decision | Perform with the information Directly identifiable outcome |
| Deciding/Weighing | Activate the decision (shorter term) |
| Often no firm time in place | SMART- M & T specific |
| Organizing steps and process | Decision and post-decision effort |
| Lots of How questions, what-ifs, and feeler or open-ended questions | More closed-ended questions, finite responses, “How is it going” is the main “How” |
One example of defining the difference between a type of Effort (Planning in this case) and Execution.
