Quote of the day

18Sep08

I came across this quote by Dwight D Eisenhower which summarises planning nicely.

In preparing for battle I have always found that plans are useless, but planning is indispensable.

Those of us who have planned for a while recognise that a plan is only as good as the day it’s made.  Real life has a horrible tendency to throw wobblies at you as soon as the ink is dry.  So the canny project recognises that it is the process of planning that is really important, and the plans themselves are a happy by-product which may sometime be useful.
