    Adding to what Duncan said. I believe the biggest offenders are business plan software programs that churn out cookie cutting documents. People have became a copy, cut and paste nation, all believing that they have the ultimate business plan.

    Hear! Hear! And the old Umsobomvo Fund (now the NYDA) was the worst culprit in driving this approach, by handing out vouchers to their clients (youth aged 18-35 yrs) to go and have a business plan done by a 'consultant'. Then Umsobomvu could report that it had spent Rx million of taxpayers' money on 'supporting' y number of start-up entrepreneurs.
