The future is a moving target

Abstract

The first planning conference of the North American Society for Corporate Planning, held in New York City in May, was a tribute to those who planned it. In terms of what is generally used to measure such events—such things as number of conferees, quality of speakers, smoothness of arrangements, palatability of hotel food—it was very successful. As might be expected, some parts of the conference appealed more than others. An attempt to provide an overview therefore will reflect certain personal biases. I confess, for example, to overcoverage of applications of strategic planning in companies and to lack of coverage on sessions dealing with modeling and economics. This is not to disparage the quality of the latter sessions, merely to indicate that a choice had to be made.
