This is a bit strange article for HBR, which usually shows us useful framework or systematic thinking. The article does not tell us utilities of frameworks but mistakes to depend on them. And finally, it says that useful frameworks weaken our thoughts.
“Strategic Planning”, as he says “strategic programming”, is the way to make strategy without doing or seeing its activity. The “strategy” contains schedule, budgets, target figure, and so on. However, he criticizes this way and strategy should be made in work spots not in an executive room. Moreover, in the first place, strategy is not necessary if there is concrete vision.
“Vision is unavailable to those cannot “see” with their own eye.”
His opinion seems to be radical, but actually he recognizes merits and demerits of some tool of thoughts, and warn us to think by ourselves and communicate with people.
It is first time for me to read his article, but I got to know why he is so popular. I want to read more about his idea and thoughts.
