Excellent Book on Planning
I found this book provided a clear explanation of planning and the tools to create a one-page plan.I especially like using the template to help clarify what is really important - it is very helpful in the planning process.A one-page plan is also easy to use and is much more useful that the multiple page plans most usually create.

It Works
I write plans and proposals all of the time.What a time saver.It gets the job done while you work on a more extensive plan.Very impressive

Great for mapping from existing strategy to implementation
There is a beautiful simplicity about this book. I think's a great way to bridge from the high level strategy to implementation, and to capture the essence of what's important along the way. A great way to communicate to all involved what the org is up to.

The book walks you through each step with examples where orgs used different styles for the given steps. The question templates, for instance for objectives, are great at framing the points so your org can succeed at them.

The beginning of the book has a great set of "diagnostic" sheets to help you think about how things are going at all levels of your org, and for you personally.

One thing to be aware of is that this book assumes that you already understand your market positioning. What I mean by this is that you have picked out a place to play in the market, structurally, that will lead to success. Yes there are some questions that may help you further consider if you're org is positioned properly, but this book won't get you there.

Thus I'd combine this book with a strategy book which may help you to figure out a place for your org to fit in, that will set it up for success. "Strategic Planning for Nonprofit Organizations" is a good one.

Great for beginners!
I would recommend this book for novices...it's filled with plenty of sample plans for visual learners like myself. The C.D.rom allows you to write your business plan in your choice of templates. Best of all, the sample format we used for our presentation went over quite well. Five stars from me!

Excellent place to lay the groundwork
I am so pleasantly surprised by this book.

I consult to small and medium size nonprofits on how to either get started or how to get off a plateau or 'stuck' place. This book will now be foundational in how I address these groups.

Terrific, step by step, no nonsense direction.

There is no touchy-feely here, though. If you want hand holding and advice and coddling, this isn't it. This will help you lay down the a, b, c, and d of your plans to move forward. Fill in the blanks, type it up, and go get your work done.

Product Description
"The history of the Pacific war can never be written without telling the story of the U.S.S. O'Bannon..." says Admiral William F. Halsey in his forward to this book. "Time after time the O'Bannon and her gallant little sisters were called upon to turn back the enemy. They never disappointed me."

Shrouded in deep naval secrecy for over two years, the full story of the exploits of this valiant destroyer can at last be told. gives the O'Bannon's story in all its dramatic details. Here, for the first time, is the story of how a little band of American ships met and blunted the full might of the Japanese Imperial Fleet, paving the way for glorious naval victories in the Pacific.

When the O'Bannon first slipped out of her berth in Bath, Maine, her crew and many of her officers were untried seamen. For the most part they were former clerks, schoolboys, factory workers, miners - and even a Texas border patrolman, and a sixteen-year-old runaway from a Brooklyn high school. But when they met their first baptism of fire in the blazing fury of the Battle of Guadalcanal, that night the O'Bannon, to quote her Presidential Unit Citation, "Scored three torpedo hits on a monstrous Kongo-class battleship and later boldly engaged two other men-of-war and retired without the loss of a single man despite her damage."

As night after night the O'Bannon swept up "The Slot" to meet the enemy, fear of death made food unpalatable and sleep was forgotten. But time after time in the company of her tiny sisters she slugged it out with vastly superior units of the Jap Imperial Fleet - and defeated them.

But for all its thunderous background of naval engagements this book concerns itself too with the hearts and souls of American seamen who answered their country's call in her darkest hour. Action Tonight brings the reader dramatically close to the fury of the Pacific naval war. ... Read more
