Traditional "strategic" business planning is a cumbersome process that large enterprises do because, if you're steering a giant unmanoeverable oil tanker, you need to know hours, even days in advance precisely when and how much to turn the wheel or you'll end up catastrophically off course. Natural enterprise needs to plan, of course, but it has the opportunity, and the strategic advantage, of being able to do so quickly, even spontaneously.[more]

YES! Yes yes yes yes! That helps articulate my frustration with project management (and more specifically a certain project manager/officemate). Planning certainly has a place - but so does just "doing" something.
