The Simple Power of Flawless Planning

Our most intelligent planning is simple. We don’t overcomplicate things because complication doesn’t make anything easier or better. Plans go well when we don’t over-complicate them with assumptions. The future we have is the future we plan.

Flawless planning is as simple as it gets. We turn uncertainties into questions, questions into actions, and actions into results. Anything else is unnecessary complication.

Any kind of planning can be flawless. The prime flaw in planning is complicating it by being assumption-based. When plans go wrong or nowhere, it’s simply because they’re flawed. Plans are flawless when we work from zero assumptions. We move forward toward what we want to see possible one question at a time. And when we plan together, everyone’s contributions are valued because in the planning of uncertainty, everyone has questions and more questions lead to better questions.

When strategic, project, program, crisis, and start-up planning are question-based, they are optimally realistic, affordable, and productive because it’s simple and it works. Simple is efficient; efficient is affordable. Smart is simple.
