Fresh Look – Is a series of articles taking a look at common topics to try to come up with some new ideas and insight into problems that seem to repeat themselves across many organisations.
In a world of information overload it is very easy to lose sight of what matters, so this is the first in a series of posts that revisit to remind about some core concepts so what could be more important than planning

Now, if you are really interested in finding out more about planning and how you can improve your performance, check out our book.
