In his book, Innovative Planning: Your Church in 4-D, Bud Wrenn says the following about misunderstanding planning:
"A congregation must recognize the different dimensions of planning that must be approached sequentially. For example, effective planning must begin with the big picture and move toward more concrete plans regarding what must be done to bring that big picture to reality. Unfortunately, even the vast majority of well-meaning congregations that do place value in the planning process don't distinguish the different dimensions. They often see planning as on 'big blob' and not as a process with unique dimensions. Failure to distinguish these dimensions of planning will ultimately lead to ineffective and unrealistic plans."
