Like Consultant Ninja said, there is great advice from Jack Welch in his book "Winning":

"Forget the endless scenario
planning, yearlong studies, and hundred-page reports. In real life, strategy is very straightforward. You

Reading your blog for some years now, never been an actual "consultant", but an "insider consultant", shifting (right here, right now) from that position to entrepreneur and.... your damn article so making sense.
Actually scratching my head off to build a business plan than could contest on a McKinsey tournament... and getting pretty much nothing done.
obseting me, harassing me, obsessing me actually.

question would be: what's the way out of that circle ?

sorry to bother you 'bout that, just needed to have that out.

keep on with the blog, still picturing myself in your writing, enjoying it from Paris!!!
