The deployment of the goals and objectives to the operating and program units is the step that requires tremendous communication and coordination efforts (Cox, Plati, & Moran, 2014). It is here that the process of tracking the plan’s implementation begins because we have to ensure that we are delivering what we set out to accomplish. Cox, G., Planti, A., & Moran, J.
