Two years ago, I met someone in Bangkok. I just thought of him today because of the discussions we had shared on "Planning the Unplanned". Met him at the coffee shop of the hotel where I stayed. He noticed my book. I was reading then, Dilbert's Principle on Business. We talked about business and even had a little intense argument regarding Planning the Unplanned.
For him, there is no such thing as unplanned. Planning in business world is very essential. People should plan things better. People or executives should analyze and forecast the business cycle and make plans for it. He also added that plans that did not materialized were the results from people who were UNINTELLIGENT and INEXPERIENCE in the business world.
Duh!!!
It's true, those were his words.
Of course, I reacted on this. It does not mean that if a plan did not push through, people are Stupid! It's true that people should really study, analyze and make good forecast on their business. I even asked him if he was aware on Business Planning because we had that back home. We make forecast for our business based from our past and current revenues, financial standing, business environment, proper scheduling and the economic status of the country. I even emphasized the contingency plan or alternative plan or the so-called PLAN B because unplanned events can affect the organization.
Anyway, readers might get bored on this. I just wanted to share this.

Planning is ok but people should be prepared on the output and consequences because shit happens anytime.
