Many years ago, it was announced that the 2016 Summer Olympic Games would be held in Rio de Janeiro. Lots of strategic planning and expense went into a massive overhaul of infrastructure and cleanup efforts in anticipation of this magnificent event. Despite a long planning window, unanticipated last-minute threats appeared.( i.e.,the threat of the Zika virus emerging from that area severely altered expectations and plans). Some athletes even cancelled plans to participate. For your consideration: Is long-term strategic planning worth it? Why or why not? If it is, what is an appropriate planning window (months, years, etc.)? How do you plan for contingencies? Explain.
