Decision making and strategic planning tool sets

This book wants to contribute to the upgrade of current decision-making and decision-making support tool sets. Decision makers have been always searching for comprehensive situational awareness. Today, technology promises them that outstanding information gathering capacities will deliver all they may want to know. Instead, complete information cannot be reached, as in today's world drivers and variables multiply faster than technology based tool sets improvements. Furthermore, even admitting a decision maker could ever get a deliverable providing him with complete information, pure situational awareness is not sufficient per se to take the smartest decision. Information must serve a strategy, that has to be robust and consistent with the decision maker's desired end-state, if the he wants to maximize his possibilities of success. How do we build strategies today? What is public and private decision makers' understanding of strategy planning? Is that consistent with today's dilemmas?
