Are you a planner, or a Planner?
The value of planning in heavy industry worldwide cannot be overstated; we've all seen the benefits, regardless of how formal or informal the basis of planning might be.
What can be overstated however is the value of a so-called Planner, because Planner is not a role, it's a function performed by someone recognized as a planner (lowercase 'p' rather than Planner with an uppercase 'P'), or someone performing a planning role. It's as if heavy industry recognized the value of planning, but did not recognize the value of a Planner to the same degree as an Engineer, for example.
