Welcome to Strategic Planning for America's Schools 2.0
Dear Strategic Thinkers,
Welcome to our Strategic Thinkers blog. We are open 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year to provide a platform for ongoing dialog among strategic thinkers around the globe on the subject of organizational strategy.
Though thousands of professionals have embraced the Cambridge philosophy on strategy, there are thousands and perhaps millions more who haven't had the opportunity to fully grasp the power of the concept in its purest form as it has been developed by Cambridge. While we hope to enlighten many of the lost through this blog, we also hope to engage veterans and beginners of the Cambridge methodology in meaningful discussions and debate to enrich their strategic planning abilities and knowledge for the betterment of their organizations.
Are all resources and energies expended in your organization advancing you toward your strategic intent? Is your strategic intent, or highest aspirations for your organization, clearly identified and articulated? Few organizations have taken the requisite steps to break free of their momentum, or inertia. And, most organizations set their goals based on where they've been rather than what could be, wherein lies the essence of strategy. Strategy is separate from past activity. It is embedded in the future... in your highest aspirations.
Public education is in a time of unprecedented change. Leaders feel compelled to drive the transformation of learning and teaching systems amid pressures of high-stakes accountability and shrinking funding. Within this context, it is imperative that strategic thinking and planning drive the actions of the change initiatives.
Share your strategic planning story with us. Whether you are struggling or succeeding in your strategic efforts, we hope this platform will serve as a safe place to seek guidance and counsel in your strategic planning and action efforts.
Sincerely,
The Cambridge Team
