Planning

The Problem

Great execution only stands a chance if it comes from a thoroughly conceived plan. The more one delves into what thorough planning means – and Charterers, Operators and Bunker Buyers know this very well –, the more one realizes that the number of variables involved is overwhelming. Typically, under a pressing environment where decisions need to be made in minutes, people resort to solutions that worked in the past – in other words, experience – but that can hardly result in a plan that is optimized for the current context. A context, by the way, that changes by the minute.
