- Effective planning is not merely a static process but rather an ongoing and iterative cycle. It involves continuous monitoring and feedback loops that allow for adjustments and refinements as circumstances evolve.

Through regular reviews and assessments, planners can identify emerging trends, reassess priorities, and make necessary modifications to their plans. This iterative approach also promotes a learning culture, where insights gained from previous planning cycles inform future decisions. It allows for the incorporation of new information and experiences, enabling planners to adapt strategies in a dynamic and ever-changing landscape.
