Management planning questions—a world moving in time

If I get some assistance, I will add these later.


Management planning questions are attention directing tools

Rather than trying to define answers, it is more productive to define the right questions.

Some questions challenge our assumptions.

Other questions ask us to do something more specific

Examples of MPQs can be found in books (link to toc.html). Typically they are placed at the beginning or endings of a chapter. In Peter Drucker's work they are almost always embedded in the text and phrased as a question. At other times there is just an implied question which he explores and you have to figure it out for yourself.

You might find it interesting and useful to pose questions when reading organization evolution articles in the news. What question or questions explain a certain success or would have prevented some kind of strategic crisis. You might think in terms of strategic, operating, or people questions. In the case of the 2003 electrical blackout in the northeast, what general question would have prevented it and similar crisises?


You might want to create a reminder to repeatedly ask: "what do I have to do (informed in each of the five dimensions) to have the kind of life (informed) I want (informed)?".

At the present time this is a prototype site. I add, remove, and redesign content based on my own unfolding comprehension of the time-life navigation © (TLN) landscape . This means that you might want to periodically revisit relevant pages.

Site design goals (beta—September 2010): My minimum goal is to provide enough "sign-posts" that serious site users don't find themselves in major negative situations because they didn't get the TLN memo. My desired goal is to provide "sign-posts" to a meaningful life—both for individuals and society. One supreme sign-post is to set your sights on achievements that really matter, that will make a difference in the world. The second half of your life is the major opportunity for full effectiveness and fulfillment.

Many of the books that were available when I first started working on what I now call "time-life navigation" have gone out of print or are hard to find. You can still use the content of the book outline pages to identify topics of interest and to search Amazon Books for topics or phrases.
