Systematic approach,
By Mr Sie Hui Lau (Puchong, Selangor Malaysia) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Systems Thinking Approach to Strategic Planning and Management (Hardcover)
As a person who is responsible for corporate planning for my company, I found this book extremely helpful in putting ideas and thoughts into structure, and thus able to approach strategic planning and management in a more systematic manner. Planning framework designed by using this Systems Thinking approach can be easily communicated to parties involved in the planning process, and be understood, accepted.For independent consultants whom are looking for an approach to carry out their practises in this areas, this book is helpful too. However, if you are looking for concise strategic planning implementation process, this book is somehow lacking. For that, I would like to recommend you to "Team-based strategic planning: A complete guide to structuring, facilitating, and implementing the process" by C. Davis Fogg.

Hard to follow,
By
This review is from: The Systems Thinking Approach to Strategic Planning and Management (Hardcover)
A book whose description includes 'easy to follow' should be a lot easier to read. While the author's ideas are valid for the profession, as a leader in the field he could have had a better editor.
The figures and tables flow over pages and the references may be pages away. On page 187 for example, the author draws attention to the Current State Assesment and points out ' to be sure to include evaluation of these ten areas, and then lists only 8. Getting the references and ignoring the discrepancies that could have been eliminated by careful editing is an additional hurdle that the reader has to face.
5.0 out of 5 stars
