Perhaps that's the kind of idea Dwight Eisenhower had in mind when he said
"in preparing for battle, I have found that the plan is nothing, but the
planning is everything". I know it's a good elaboration on one of my own
favorite aphorisms: "It's important to have a plan -- it gives you
something to deviate from."
May all your strategies emerge satisfactorily,
