Long-term Planning Is Irrelevant, If Not a Hindrance Mee-Yan Cheung-Judge

Long-term planning is irrelevant, if not a hindrance.

Strategy should not be about the realisation of prior intent, but rather emphasis on the importance of openness to accident, coincidence and serendipity.

Strategy in this case is the emergent resultant.

Successful strategies, especially in the long term, do not result from fixing an organisational intention and mobilising around it, they emerge from complex and continuing interactions between people.
