The successful development of any organization or project is most likely to take place if there is a well thought out and logical plan for the operation. For major organizations and projects many hundreds of factors have to be considered. Although the arguments proposed are aimed primarily at large organizations and projects they are equally applicable to small organizations. This book explores the essential pre-requisites for a defensible and logical plan to perform any task. A realistic strategy has to be developed and real priorities have to be set. The text offers a detailed analysis of the factors that have to be considered in defining strategy or specifying a priority. Developing the optimum strategy and priorities, therefore, plays an essential role in the success of any project.
