		<description><![CDATA[I enjoyed your post,

One reason I have experienced why strategic plans fail, is the senior team jumps into planning without first jumping into their market and getting current market data. I discuss this in my blog post : Proven Steps to Profitable Growth; Step one, …Establish Market Truth http://nosmokeandmirrors.wordpress.com/2009/11/23/proven-steps-to-profitable-growth-step-one-establish-market-truth/ .

I also agree it is often an execution problem that is truly the issue and not a strategy concern.

Thanks for a great post.
