The basic premise of this book is that although strategic thinking and strategic planning are extremely important in organizations, they are not sufficient to assure success. The strategic plans have to be translated into working solutions that can be implemented and managed. Simply stated, all the activities in the entire Learn-Plan-Do-Check cycle need to be paid equal attention. To support this goal, we have created the following support materials.
