I read your musings on the frustrations of strategic planning with much interest. I recommend that you'll read Henry Mintzberg's book - "The rise and fall of strategic planning." It gives an in-depth account of the origins of strategic planning and why corporate America abandoned it in the late 1970s. The interesting thing is that as soon as the corporate world dumped it, NGOs (oops! Community benefit organisations) picked it up! Surendran Colombo, Sri Lanka Hi there!
