October 25, 2025
Strategic planning today requires executive teams to imagine multiple possible futures and the moves to get there, and play out the implications of each before committing. In an environment defined by volatility and rapid change, strategy can no longer rely on fixed plans alone. Grounding strategic choices in an organization’s Purpose and Vision helps leaders align decisions, investments, and priorities—even when the path forward must adapt along the way.
