Quote by Dwight D Eisenhower

Plans are nothing; planning is everything.

Plans are nothing; planning is everything.

Summary

This quote, often attributed to former US President Dwight D. Eisenhower, emphasizes the importance of the process of planning rather than the specific plans themselves. It suggests that while plans might change or prove ineffective in the face of unexpected events, the act of planning equips individuals or organizations with the skills, knowledge, and flexibility needed to adapt and respond effectively. It highlights the idea that the benefits derived from the planning process, such as anticipation, understanding, and preparedness, are more valuable than the plans themselves, as they enable better decision-making and problem-solving in uncertain and dynamic environments.
