The implementation of the Operational Plan requires management to regularly monitor achievement and exert control to reduce any variance from the plan.

This control by managers will involve:

•      Investigating on a regular basis of what has been achieved, and what has not

•      Implementing corrective action where tasks are not achieved, or achieve on time

•      Checking that resources will be available when needed

•      Supervising, supporting and motivating the people of the organisation to ensure tasks are undertaken

•      Adjusting the operational plan if there is a need

•      Reporting problems to superiors e.g. directors, committee personnel, the Board Members of the organisation
