Very well STRATEGIC PLAN for this thread.

Part 1 - Vision, Mission, Objectives

Vision
This thread will be the premiere repository of erudite thinking anywhere on the Internet.

Mission
This thread will discuss timely subjects of the highest import and promote the sharing of groundbreaking ideas.

Objectives

By the 500th reply, 5 posters on this thread will have had their ideas been published in leading academic journals.

By the 1000th reply, the United Nations will have transcended world poverty and war.

By the crowning of a winner in this contest humanity will have transcended existence on Earth.

Do you by any chance work in HR, TL?

OMG!!!!!

There IS NO HUMANITY

Shakes Bar!!!

Oh, I think I'm going to be ill

We can only hope not RL.

No RHL, but my graduate degree is in strategy and marketing.

We have a mission statement?

Now I'm going to be ill....

.

This reductionist strategy will not help you, BB.

Since the last 5 posts are clearly about strategic planning and we've hammered out the strategic framework for this thread, let's get to work on fufilling the objectives as outlined.

After all we now have less than 400 posts to get our representatives published in leading journals.

Here is our to do list:

• Positioning statement
• Develop key performance indicators
• Review environmental Factors/trends
• Review our major strategic issues
• SWOT analysis
• Strategic Action Plans
• Outline functiona requirements
• Summary of major programs
• HR summary
• Financial projections

Any volunteers?

groan. tamper lad is an evil genius....

Nah, too much like work for me TL.

Drat, thought I could get everybody in the bar and sneak in a <span style="font-size: 6px;">little</span> thought.

Alright back to work DB.

And you too BB. We need those financials.

uh,...,right

i'm a very bad employee

*snerk* I'm still a student -- if you expect me to work...

Heaven help us! We've morphed into the Legion of Super-Dilberts!

We'll have to see if MEL can run us up some brochures for the LSDs

DB this process will leverage your talents to build this thread.

Cali, think of this as an invaluable lesson on the futility of strategic planning.

RL Discussions about cartoons are not germaine to the strategic planning process.

If it's futile, then why bother?

...don't answer that.

If discussions about cartoons aren't germaine, why are we on a comics-themed board?

Don't answer that either.

Because the strategic process gives the various stakeholders a vision mission to reach for in the context of building the organization, in this case the thread.

Secondly it helps build talent and capability within the org by creating "stretch" goals for individuals and functional and business units to strive towards.

RL: I refer you to EDE's rules for this game.

There is a similarity? Rockhopper you may be on to something!

I toldja not to answer Tamper Lad!!

Why do we never get an answer
When we're knocking at the door
With a thousand million questions
About hate and death and war?
