PLANNING AND TARGETS
(There are at this writing 3 HCO Pol Ltrs of near date on this subject
of Targets. The area has never before been examined or written up as a
philosophic subject.)
Plans are NOT targets.
All manner of plans can be drawn and can be okayed. But this does not
authorize their execution. They are just plans. When and how they will be
done and by whom has not been established, scheduled or authorized.
This is why planning sometimes gets a bad name.
You could plan to make a million dollars but if when, how and who were
not set as targets of different types, it just wouldn't happen. A brilliant
plan is drawn as to how to convert Boston Harbour into a fuel tanker area.
It could be on drawings with everything perfectly placed. One could even
have models of it. Ten years go by and it has not been started much less
completed. You have seen such plans. World's Fairs are full of them.
One could also have a plan which was targeted-who, when, how-and if the
targets were poor or unreal, it would never be completed.
One can also have a plan which had no CONDITIONAL TARGET ahead of it and
so no one really wanted it and it served no purpose really. It is unlikely
it would ever be finished. Such a thing existed in Corfu. It was a half
completed Greek theatre which had just been left that way. No one had asked
the inhabitants if they wanted it or if it was needed. So even though very
well planned and even partially targeted and half completed, there it is-
half finished. And has remained that way.
A plan, by which is meant the drawing or scale modeling of some area,
project or thing, is of course a vital necessity in any construction and
construction fails without it. It can even be okayed as a plan.
But if it was not the result of findings of a Conditional Target (a
survey of what's needed or feasible) it will be useless or won't fit in.
And if no funds are allocated to it and no one is ordered to do it and if
no scheduling of doing it exists, then, on each separate count it won't
ever be done.
One can define Planning as the overall target system wherein all targets
of all types are set. That would be complete planning.
COMPLETE PLANNING
To get a Complete Plan okayed one would have to show it as:
(a) A result of a Conditional Target (survey of what's wanted and
needed).
(b) The details of the thing itself, meaning a picture of it or its
scope plus the ease or difficulty in doing it and with what persons or
materials.
