Annotation

The moderator in this video sits down with two experts in the strategic planning field to discuss definitions and differences between strategic thinking, planning and management. The speakers share their belief that strategic thinking is an integral aspect of every job; at every planning stage, all team members should be included and detailed documentation should be kept. This further provides discussion on how to implement and translate general ideas about strategic thinking, planning and management into a health department setting. They also discuss how this continuous process affects the controlled evolution of an organization and the consequences of an organization lacking understanding of the process. A pdf of slides from the presentation is available for use.
