Abstract A direct methodology for the evaluation of strategic planning systems is illustrated, and contrasted with the indirect evaluation methodologies that have previously been used. The direct methodology involves twelve distinct varieties of assessment of the goals, inputs, outputs, feedback mechanisms, and impacts of the planning system that are made in terms of the system's goals as well as various bodies of external standards.
