Types of corporate planners |
Inactive planners (present oriented) Reactive planners (past oriented) Proactive planners ( create the future) Prective planners (predict the future) |
|
|
Inactive planners |
Inactive planners attempt to preserve the present, which is preferable to both the past and the future. While the present may have problems it is better than the past. The expectation is that things are as good as they are likely to get and the future will only be worse. Any additional change is likely to be for the worse and should therefore be avoided. |
|
|
Re-active planners |
They attempt to turn back the clock to the past. The past, no matter how bad, is preferable to the present. And definitely better than the future will be. The past is romanticized and there is a desire to return to the "good old days." These people seek to undo the change that has created the present, and they fear the future, which they attempt to prevent. |
|
|
Pro- Active planners |
Proactive planning involves designing a desired future and then inventing ways to create that future state. Not only is the future a preferred state, but the organization can actively control the outcome. Planners actively shape the future, rather than just trying to get ahead of events outside of their control. |
|
|
Pre- active planners |
Preactive planning is an attempt to predict the future and then to plan for that predicted future. The planning process will seek to position the organization to take advantage of the change that is happening around them. |
