The stagnation of planning may be dangerous to your strategy

Abstract

A common problem in many public and private sector organizations is the stagnation of strategic planning after four or five planning cycles. At this stage of development strategic planning is maturing as a management discipline; however, as corporations grow accustomed to formal planning's concepts and techniques, there often evolves an attitude of complacency among top management that, if left unchecked, can undermine planning's essential value.
