Helpful templates for enabling the strategy planning & execution

This book is excellent. I found the book extremely useful in formulating a strategy for my organization. I have read many theoretical books about strategy that have given me insight into What Strategy Is but this is the first How Strategy Should Be Implemented nuts-and-bolts book (of course, in addition to What Strategy Is). If you are planning to write a strategy for your organization this is the best book that I have seen. The book was written in 1996 yet covers all the concepts of Porter, Balanced Score Card, etc. Most of the strategy books assume that there is a facilitator helping us do the strategic planning. This book doesn't assume anything and is a great tool for businessmen who are trying to formulate a strategy by themselves. Highly recommended, esp for the practitioners.
