Strategic planning is worthless - unless there is first a strategic vision.
We have a strategic plan. It's called 'doing things'.
If everyone is thinking alike, then somebody isn't thinking.
If you don't know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.
You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
A goal without a plan is just a wish.
Imagination is more important than knowledge.
If you do not know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere
Even if you're on the right track, you'll get run over if you just sit there.
Cherish your visions and your dreams, as they are the children of your soul; the blueprints of your ultimate achievements.
A good plan violently executed now is better than a perfect plan executed next week.
If you don't know where you are currently standing, you're dead.
The very essence of leadership is that you have to have vision. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet.
If you don't know where you're going any road will do
If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle
If you don t know where you are, a map won't help.
It's hard to get lost if you don't know where you're going.
Strategic planning for the future is the most hopeful indication of our increasing social intelligence.
Strategic planning is the continuous process of making present entrepreneurial (risk-taking) decisions systematically and with the greatest knowledge of their futurity; organizing systematically the efforts needed to carry out these decisions; and measuring the results of these decisions against the expectations through organized, systematic feedback.
What business strategy is all about-what distinguishes it from all other kinds of business planning-is, in a word, competitive advantage. Without competitors there would be no need for strategy, for the sole purpose of strategic planning is to enable the company to gain, as efficiently as possible, a sustainable edge over its competitors.
