“Plans live at the actionable level. They show who is responsible, what work is required, and how the organization intends to move toward its goals.”
Exactly right, Patrick! My fave planning question is “What do you need to keep doing, start doing and stop doing in order to reach your goal? Who is responsible for ensuring that all happens?”
Spot on. This distinction between goals and plans hits the same gap I see in group dynamics work. When teams don’t separate the destination from the behaviors that actually move them, they lose the ability to see early drift and adapt properly.
I'll ditto the love for the "Plans live at the actionable level" quote. But also, anytime I read anything about illegal streaming, I cannot get the old "you wouldn't download a car" commercials out of my head.

Thanks Baird!
