In this little book, George Morrissey continues the discussion on strategic thinking that he began in his Guide to Strategic Planning. His guidance is excellent as he distinguishes between determining strategy and doing long term planning. In his words, strategy is about laying out your vision, while long term planning is about laying out your position. He gave an excellent example in the book, where JFK told the American people that an American will be on the moon by the end of the decade of the 1960s. That plan translated a strategic vision into a solid plan with concrete results that the American People could get behind. Morrissey discusses similar strategic planning examples and tools to use for strategic planning. This book is a must read for anyone who is tasked with determining the long term priorities and goals of any organization.
