N2  - The central premise is that most projects and strategies never get off the ground because of adhoc, haphazard, and obsolete methods used to turn their ideas into coherent and actionable plans. It is the first book to couple a step-by-step process with an interactive thinking tool that takes a strategic approach to designing projects and action initiatives, building a solid platform upon four critical questions that are vital for teams to intelligently answer in order to create their own strong, strategic foundation
