At a time in the history of social services where demands for accountability place increasing pressure on agency administrators and planners, a discussion of problems in organizing and conducting effective planning activities may create awareness of typical errors in logical and relevant decision making in establishing goals and objectives for agency programs. This discussion will focus on frequently observed difficulties in seleeting and utilizing planning teams, discovering and properly assessing agency data, and using creative and open-minded perspectives in defining tasks and arenas for flexible program planning. Along with this outline of problem areas, the author will also suggest some simple methods to avoid common roadblocks, and to more effectively utilize staff input, agency information and logical decision making processes to engineer sound programs as a result of good planning
