- Delibrate: making Delibrate is an act done by a public relation man for him to create programs that has it root from the research he has carry out before e.g by seeking the opinion, belief, view and ideas of the public of that organization, he react to the feedback gotten from the public in order to issue mutual interest.
- Planned: before anything is done in life one has to plan and public relation is not in isolation of this point, as a public relation man of an organisation one has to have planned against the imminents about to come, it is the responsibility of a PR person in an organisation to organise a meeting that will call together all head members of department in an organisation, this heads sees to issue and give the PR person their own view on issue, from this point, the public relation officer replanned for the favourable outcome.
