Put Assumptions in Your Plans
Assumptions are quite often a missing link in the planning process.
The benefit of putting assumptions in your plans is that they provide
for another way to prepare for unforeseen events.
In my coaching I often do a Potential Problem Analysis with clients. A
way to generate a better list of potential problems is to define the
assumptions that support the plan.
Assumptions typically relate to how others will react to some planned
action. So preparing for a variety of reactions allows for a better
response to events.
