Patriot Acts...Strategic Planning - Part Two
2008-12-26 07:20:00 At the crowning of every American Head of State there is undoubtedly great anticipation melanged with a fair measure trepidation. This person, just like all the others, had considered themselves, perhaps not worthy, yet somehow still deserving of the honor. Will this man or woman fulfill their word, for which both believers and the haphazard had already cast their approval? It is not always the man or woman who can say that they actually produced the moral and fearless resolve to remain strong in the face of adversity, which surely awaits each and every successive leader of both the strongest and somehow increasingly impotent nation that seems to have dangerously lost its edge on too many levels.In Part one of Patriot Acts - Strategic Planning you saw the inner-workings of an infant administration callously and mercilessly thrust into a crisis that, if enacted, would cause the memory of September 11, 2001 shrink into obscurity, except for the true guardians of freedom.I hope you...
Patriot Acts...Strategic Planning - Part One
2008-12-23 19:57:00 Patriot Acts...Strategic Planning - Part OneWhat Do You Think...? There are some stark days ahead for the United States its efforts to stop the Islamic Republic of Iran from developing nuclear weapons. There is an intrinsic need to deal with Iran which is in the process of building a nuclear reactor and enriching uranium that it says would be used for its energy needs. Now we see that this nation has been thrust upon the world stage and is now at the center of international debate regarding its nuclear ambitions. Therefore, it is only logical that we should take a look at whether this fanatical Shiite State should be allowed to possess such technology. Does a land that is sitting on a sea of oil really have energy needs that could not be met by its massive reserve of crude? Would it be wise to trust the nation that launched the present wave of terror through out the world in 1979 with a nuclear arsenal? Can we continue to work closely with any nation, such as Russia, that would he...

Strategic planning for real estate startups
2008-04-16 01:38:00 Nikolai Kolding at the new BH&G Real Estate blog inspired me to write more about the strategic planning process. Like Nicolai, I've always been hooked on how businesses work and why things happen, the essence of corporate strategy. Simply put, there are two types of strategic planning - corporate planning and startup planning. Nicolai describes the former by introducing the "scenario planning" methodology used by conglomerate Royal Dutch Shell: Shell uses scenarios to explore the future. Our scenarios are not mechanical forecasts. They recognise that people hold beliefs and make choices that can lead down different paths. They reveal different possible futures that are plausible and challenging. Our latest energy scenarios look at the world in the next half century, linking the uncertainties we hold about the future to the decisions we must make today. The next half century is long term planning (frankly, I think it is too long). This is the province of management...

Utah Real Estate - Strategic Planning for the Housing Crisis
2008-02-14 15:25:00 Yesterday we were talking about the potential effects of the stimulus package and the other measures taken by the Fed and lenders to ease the housing crisis. Today let's talk about how this could affect Utah's real estate market and how you can position yourself to take advantage.First of all, Utah's real estate market has slowed down quite a bit, but prices are remaining high. Certain areas like Northern Utah County have a glut of new homes on the market and prices have come down there, but overall owners selling houses are resistant to lowering prices.KSL reported Monday - Market analysts say home prices are still high, and few people are buying.Bingham says fewer than 3,000 homes went on sale in December of 2006, and more than 1,200 sold. Compare that to December of 2007, where nearly 7,000 homes went on the market, and less than 800 sold.Unlike some markets in the country Utah saw a decrease in foreclosures in 2007 by 25%. Home values have held up and you don't read abo...

Islamism and Challenges to Resources for U.S. Strategic Planning Against Ji
2008-01-12 20:00:00 As previously discussed, in addressing the strategic planning to fight Jihad, any blueprint strategy for national security must define Jihad, must address it within the national security threat, and must also define a national policy on the ideology of political Islamism. The 9/11 Commission report defines Islamism as follows: "an Islamic militant, anti-democratic movement, bearing a holistic vision of Islam whose final aim is the restoration of the caliphate."

How Does Culture Influence Your Company's Strategic Planning?
2007-07-04 20:25:00 When it comes to strategic planning and implementation, culture can play a large role in many aspects of the planning process. In particular, mission/vision statements, time horizons, and marketing are key areas that can be greatly influenced by culture. A company’s mission statement is supposed to reflect the overall goals of the company, and should clearly state what the company is trying to achieve. These large objectives can be heavily influenced by the culture in which the company is a part. For example, if an oil company is part of a culture that values environmentalism, its mission statement will likely reflect the oil company’s commitment to preserving, rather than destroying, the environment while at the same time providing its customers with the oil they need. However, if this oil company is situated within a culture that cares more about progress and price than the environment, the company’s mission statement may not mention the environment at all, but instead empha...
Strategically Un-Strategic
2007-07-02 16:00:00 I was taking a look through some of Kurt Johnston’s old blog posts from about a year ago and I came across this post about strategy. Now it’s no secret that this site has a particular interest in strategy driven junior high ministry but it’s posts like this one by KuJo (as I call him) that will hopefully balance the paradigm. I like strategies. I like having a plan of attack and sticking to it. I like knowing what the goals, purposes, vision and direction of my ministry look like. In fact, for years I’ve rang the bell of ‘junior high ministry needs to, and can be, more strategic!’ Believe me; I have no plans to abandon my plans. However I’m beginning to wonder if, because of the brief season of ministry time we have with our students (2-3 years max) and their unique developmental stage, too much strategy actually hurts our ministry to young teens rather than helps it. Maybe part of our strategy needs to include room to be un-strategic. Mayb...
