In my definition, a plan is neither cast in stone, nor just an intellectual exercise done because it is supposed to be done.
But what, after defining a model of your reality, and identifying the changes required and their impacts, should be part of your planning activity?

This blog, beside being a personal blog, is a commentary on technology & politics.
If you follow my blog here or on draugiem.lv, you know that since February, when I started publishing online this blog, I publish here more “business-oriented” items.
But I publish first on my other publishing venue items that, beside containing containing something more about “how” I did come to develop certain ideas or approaches; only when at least 40 readers visited a post there, appeared here.
Today, a “mirror image publishing” to simplify accessing only the business-oriented posts.
Any organization, or organized group, whatever its purpose and composition, has what could be defined a “decision inertia”.
Any change has multiple dimensions: time, the environment were the change is carried out, the “stakeholders” (to simplify: whoever, directly or indirectly, is involved, affected, interested by a decision), etc.
In this post, we will briefly see the multiple dimensions of change, and what means managing change.

Since 1980s, also what once were called “broadsheets” started writing often about models.
Or- how whatever you do (as a person, group, organization, society) can be fed into a model, that can then tell what you are going to do next.

This post will be a little bit more “roaming through knowledge” than the usual.
But, following the dictum of somebody else, I will make things as simple as possible, but not simpler.
It will be first published in segments between 2009-05-08 and 2009-05-25, and then updated by section.
TABLE OF CONTENT
Each section will be easy to find- write “GMN2009″ in the search box, and then a word from the title.
Of course- if you search for just “GMN2009″, you will get all the sections that have been already published.
