Do you own a swiss army knife or know someone who does? They’re a great tool, because they can do lots and lots of things. Check out this swiss army kife. How neat is this?!#@ It’s fun just thinking about all the things this can do. I love the newest electronic inventions and cool contraptions. My wife would tell you the name Brian Mistler may actually be Latin “lover-of-gadgets”. Maybe you share my affection for new toys and power tools. And maybe, if you had a chance to pick up one of these, you would jump at it, and throw your little 9 feature knife away in a heartbeat…? But, that could be a big a mistake.

I was recently invited to return to the Wharton School of Business for the fourth year in a row to teach a special class on strategic planning for the Securities Industry Institute. I called them last week to ask if it were possible to shift the class more from “planning” to strategic “thinking” this year, but was surprised to find out that 98 executives had already signed up for the class based on the catalog description of it as a solid look at how to write and effective strategic plan.
