About this title

From the Back Cover

Just when you think the world has caught up to Roger Kaufman, he leaps ahead and provides us with a new approach to effective planning and thinking. Kaufman's use of systems thinking moves us to a new measurement plateau so that we can more constructively determine what truly effective performance looks like.-Ed Blankenhagen, Ph.D./Integrator, Education Services, AstraMerck

Strategic Thinking is a brilliantly effective and practical toolkit for planners who want to get the right results.-Keith Beamish, Chief Executive Officer, City of Port Adelaide

Roger Kaufman has done it again! In a sea of muddy conceptualization, he has brought a spring of clarity to the concept of Strategic Planning. Kaufman points out that the product is the key to effective planning, and the product is delineated by focusing on products rather than process. Kaufman's work will be well received and long remembered.-Theodore H. Blau, Ph.D., Chief, Strategic Planning, Manatee County (FL) Sheriff's office, and former president, American Psychological Association

This is the easy road into Roger Kaufman's MEGA approach to getting what you really want-in business or in life. The ideas are new, yet proven in his work internationally with organizations large and small. It makes the new paradigm accessible to everyone, and once you're into it, he even supplies you with a full kit of the tools you require to put it to work in any area. I wouldn't leave home without it!-Ron Forbes, Ph.D., Managing Partner, Leaderskill Group Pty Ltd., Australia
