Strategic Planning & Implentation

To be strategic is to be well prepared ahead of time for different eventualities. Strategic planning requires a state of mind that has space for the future, is versatile enough to perceive different possible scenarios, and creative to think out new solutions for possible problems and issues that may arise.
