Strategic Thinking drives Strategic Planning

The best strategic leaders anticipate where their business is headed and see changes before others do. Far from being magicians, instead they shine at outside-in thinking that sharpens their ability to anticipate well. They know their customers extremely well, foresee emerging trends, and understand changing dynamics. The headwinds public sector agencies are daunting indeed, yet increasingly leaders are participating in strategic thinking processes that lead to strategic planning. More than a project, strategic planning serves as a catalyst to marshal precious resources towards desired goals.
