PLANNING


Since 1976 ... our team has taught:

A "Masterplan" is a written statement of a group's assumptions about its direction, its organization, and its cash.


There are three approaches to planning:

1. Goal setters approach ... (Approximately 15% of the population) planning begins at the end ... begin with the end in mind.

2. Problem solvers approach ... (Approximately 80% of the population) solve what's in front of you or tomorrow won't come true anyway.

3. Opportunity oriented person's approach ... (Approximately 5% of the population) planning is building capacity to respond to opportunity ... and, removing roadblocks that are keeping us from opportunity.
