A good toolkit for IT Strategic Planning

This book present Strategic Planning as a combination of cartesian analysis and art. The author draw a lot on the principles found in classics in the area, namely the Art of War from Sun Tzu and The Prince from Machiavelli.I personally liked this book: it provides the basic toolkit to do the job. Strategic planning is clearly presented as a forward looking process dealing with mega-issues - not a cumbersome process that generate lots of documentations that nobody read.If you are looking for detailed checklists and documentation templates, this is not the rigth book for you.
