“Interactive planning is directed at creating the future. It is based on the beliefthat an organization's future depends at least as much on what it does between nowand then, as on what is done to it. Therefore, this type of planning consists of the designof a desirable present and the selection or invention of ways of approximating it asclosely as possible. It creates its future by continuously closing the gap between whereit is at any moment of time and where it would most like to be.“
