Okay, so maybe this is more easier to understand.....
Mom & Dad = Council
Staff/Public/Stakeholders = kids/banker/employer/neighbours
Their VISION = take a trip to China
They do a STRATEGIC PLAN = a slow boat to China, a supersonic jet, dirt cheap trip or most expensive possible done on credit cards, a weekend trip or a year long event with input from their banker, kids, employers, neighbours as to the feasibility of their plan
The ACTION ITEMS = tickets are booked, mail is cancelled, bags packs, animals delivered to the kennel, arrangements made with the neighbours to watch the house, etc. etc.
Each “department” (kid) makes their plans based on the VISION/STRAT PLAN/ACTION ITEMS = book their time off work/school, ensure they have their passports, pack their own bags and be at the airport on time.
Therefore, based on this analogy:
Council = VISION
Council/public/staff = STRAT PLAN
Staff (including the Planner) = ACTION ITEMS
I've always wanted to go to China...unfortunately Mom and Dad Melancthon's lack of planning seems to have landed me in Kabul...oh hello Mr. Taliban...where's my Burka?
