Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Operational plans provide specific details on how to achieve the overall objectives by outlining the activities, resources, and timelines required for specific departments, teams, or individuals to meet their responsibilities. Specific plans are very precise and focus on a particular area or task, whereas directional plans provide general guidance and flexibility. Long-term plans focus on achieving objectives over an extended period, usually five years or more. Strategic plans are broad statements of where an organization wants to go and what it wants to achieve over a long time period.
