Things change so quickly this day and age that having a plan just doesn’t cut it anymore. Adaptability and a willingness to throw everything you’ve planned for out the window at a moments notice are key to survival.

The point of this being is that anyone who says they have a master plan pretty much has a mark on their head.

Guess what?

I have a Master Plan!

(That’s with capitals ‘M’ and ‘P’)

I consider my master plan to be extremely realistic and viable. Furthermore, I’ll be the first to admit it will never happen. Ever.

I now have once had a master plan… so what’s next for mastermind such as myself to occupy his time with?

Seeing as global scale planning at the individual level is prohibitively difficult in the current environment, I’m thinking we need a framework for agile collective planning.

And so I have a plan for us to plan how we all plan our plans. (No, that’s not how I’m going to pitch it.)

I’m writing a bunch of project proposals right now and they all seem to be converging upon a single extensively modular proposal framework. As I start publishing the first few proposal drafts these next few weeks, I want to start exploring the development of an open framework for creating nested and networked proposals. (No, that’s not how I’m going to pitch it either.)

Because what’s better than ones own master plan? A plan that we can call OUR Master Plan!
