-Planning can convert values into actions, when we are faced with a decision we could determine which decision will help advance our plan. When a crisis arises, thinking about the overall will help determine which decision to make will not only help solve the crisis by also help advance the plan. Without planning, decisions may ultimately be in conflict with each other.
