Finally, after a rather prolonged judging period, iseewhatyoumean is declared the winner of the APSotW Assignment 7 - the cruise task set by Grant McCracken. Congrats to iSee, the whole blog is worth a look, a fantastic perspective on planning, brands and China.
You can link to all the entries here, and I recommend you have a look, there's some really great work. Grant and I have added our own tiresome comments which may be interesting to someone. Big thanks again to Grant, what a gentleman.
Thanks for your feedback guys, as usual there is just as much food for thought here for the spectators (me) as there are for the participants (Michelle for one)

if only every school was like this! An inspiring task, fun to think about and lots of stimulating company. and no one took my dinner money or pulled my hair.
thanks so much for the chance to do this.

Many congratulations to ISee - a deserving winner, whose lovely blog I've spent lots of time plunging about in since being introduced to it through this. Your answer itself was a pleaure to read, as was meeting my other classmates.
Russell and Grant you're both legends in your lifetimes not only for cooking it up, but spending the time to read and write such provoking and encouraging stuff. Grant, I've had to reply to you on my site, as I disagreed with lots of your disagreements. As if you'd not had enough cruise theorising for a life time.

I agree with Beeker, Isee's analysis seriously rocked the boat. (that'll be my last maritime pun in a while) Concise and intelligent.
And Russell and Grant, thanks for taking the time to read and comment on our entries.
I was wondering: when will there be a 'planners who do things' assignment?
