You gotta love our organization.
I just ran across the binder containing our previous Long Range Plan, and noted the dates: "July 2004 - June 2007"
In the past, we used to have (in the best Soviet tradition) Five Year Plans. Then it was decided that five years was really too long, given the modern pace of change.
So now we have Three Year Plans...which take a year to plan, three years to execute, and an additional year to evaluate.
Our next Three Year Plan will start in July 2009...exactly five years after the last one started.
Just think...if we planned and evaluated more deliberately, we could have a One Year Plan that takes two years to plan and two years to evaluate!
Gotta love our organization.

I have never been much of a one for long-range planning,(especially not in my personal life) but if I am going to make a list, I like to get everything on it done before making another one. I guess it doesn't bother me that the numbers don't match as long as we accomplish what we've set out to do and that the things on the list aren't pie-in-the-sky.
