My work sometimes involves me in forward planning, mainly in financial modeling.
But I am jealous of those who make their daily loaf in strategic planning. Looking were the weakness are, where valuable assets are being lost. Developing ways of protecting copyright or making it more difficult to steal the assets or for others to re use your own assets against you.
With this in mind a big, big, well done to Ben and the boys at the FFA. During the week as quite as you like they announce a national under 14 team to compete internationally see link at the end.
Gee Midfielder why make such a big fuse over a small announcement. Because from about 12 to 15 many talented young sportsman leave football to play other codes. Keeping these sportsman in football is very good for football, and very bad for the other codes.
It is a very simple thing young boys at 13 or 14 (remember we are talking about the best here) represent state go on to national team, .................or ................. go to play for local park league / AFL team.
IMO who ever worked this out at FFA needs a big pat on the back. As I see it brilliant strategic planning. The only draw back I can see is if a player matures latter than 12 / 13 then will they still get their shot at the national team. Yes via the youth league and other rep teams.

Near the end of the link it says Buckley said the FFA was set to make a "modest" profit for this financial year, following a significant loss last year, and plans were in place to establish an under-14 national team to compete internationally. The youngest national team is under-17.
