Planning under pressure Book

This guide for students and professionals confronts the realities that planners face when tackling complex decisions in a strategic way: uncertainty, shortage of time, limited resources and conflicting interests and demands. It offers a range of practical and effective methods to enable planners to analyze interconnected problems and work adaptively towards decisions. Although the foundations of the author's approach are in operational research, their methodology uses charts and other forms of graphical representations rather than complex analysis techniques. Thus, this book offers genuine practical strategies for students and planners working under pressure.
