Description
Book SynopsisModern organizations, whether public or private, are animated by a universal imperative: to achieve prominent goals that fulfill their mandates and uphold deeply held values and ideals. To realize this imperative, leaders entrusted to pursue organizational missions need to exercise a core set of strategic skills, discern opportunities, identify worthy goals, and implement pursuing actions. Strategic Policy Design introduces an integrated architecture for strategic thinking that enhances leadership skills in gauging conditions and crystallizing plans. This framework promotes a structured approach to strategic tasks by offering templates for decision making, from articulating a strategic mission, understanding the environment in which an organization operates, and rallying people and resources toward attaining strategic goals to a portable, versatile framework for the development and writing of strategy-oriented communications.

Strategic Policy Design is a flexible tool for educators and a valuable resource for aspiring leaders at every level. While policymaking processes are the central focus of courses on public policy, we should not overlook that the future quality of those processes begins today—the moment we begin to teach our students to think like leaders. Effective leadership is all about strategy, and this book provides an efficient framework for introducing students to this skillset.
