The Rise and Fall of Strategic Planning: Reconceiving Roles for Planning, Plans, Planners by Henry Mintzberg is an influential book on business strategy, management and organisational planning.

In this thought-provoking work, Mintzberg examines the development of strategic planning, its rise to prominence and the reasons its limitations became increasingly apparent. He challenges conventional approaches to corporate planning and explores the differences between formal analysis and the creative thinking involved in developing successful strategies.

The book investigates the assumptions behind traditional strategic planning, including the difficulties of predicting future changes, separating strategic thinking from day-to-day operations, and attempting to formalise the entire process of strategy creation.

Mintzberg argues for a more flexible approach that recognises the importance of organisational learning, practical experience, individual insight and the ability to respond to changing circumstances. He also considers how planners, plans and planning processes can support effective strategy-making without restricting creativity or adaptability.

This book is a valuable read for business managers, strategic planners, management consultants, business students, academics and anyone interested in organisational development and business strategy.
