Planning Philosophy
		At Vantage Associates, our planning
		philosophy and techniques are based on more than 25 years of
		experience. Although every organization has a different set of
		needs, our approach can be successfully applied to all
		organizations.  We follow these principles of planning:
		
		
		
    - The purpose of planning is to improve
        performance.
- Planning is an ongoing and
        evolutionary process to be improved with each planning
        cycle.
- The real value of planning is in the
        process, not the paper.
- Uncertainty about the future is the
        reason to plan, not an excuse for inaction.
