Enterprise-wide Strategic Planning and Mnagement System

"Strategic planning, like other information intensive functions, remains more an art than a science. One reason for this is a general inability to efficiently and effectively manage information. The inability to cleanly collect, interpret, and analyzeinformation results in making more subjective decisions as we carry out complicated processes such as strategic planning. And the problem seems to worsen as the number of participants in the process increases, and as the physical distance between theseparticipants increases. Three emerging technologies can help to solve the problem. They include the Internet, advanced data collection and consensus building software concepts, and wireless technology. This effort addresses how to use these technologies tosolve the problem."
