The entire company was invited to read the plan and review it, but very few actually did. Only a portion of the senior executives read each other’s sections. The end result was an excellent roadmap, although I’m a fan of the Helmuth von Moltke the Elder quote “no plan survives first contact with the enemy.” We cooked and ate the thing, but I’m not sure we digested it.
