Good planning has two componenets: 1) planning and 2) control. Take, for example, a budget. The planning is the budget by category, month, dept. etc. The control is comparing the plan (budget) against the actual cost expended. Then, follow-up should be made with dept. managers or supervisors for applicable areas to indicate the major reason for the discrepencies and either correct the problem or modify the budget.

The people making the plan must "own" it, that is they must be part of the planning process and be held accountable for results. It's the old carrot and stick situation. Good behavior is rewarded in some fashion and bad behavior is punished. It's the same in good planning. People, dept.'s, etc. that have good plans, keep them up to date and document them should be rewarded some how. Those that do not should be punished in some way.
