In today’s rapidly evolving global landscape, strategic planning, foresight, and management are vital for effective leadership across the public, private, and nonprofit sectors. This distinguished panel will explore how leaders can think, act, and learn strategically to drive mission-centered impact. Panelists will examine key components of strategy (planning, implementation, and evaluation) and introduce practical tools and frameworks for achieving transformative results. Drawing on real-world examples, they will illustrate how to apply strategic thinking with creativity and purpose and demonstrate how strategic leadership equips changemakers to navigate complexity, foster innovation, and advance sustainable outcomes.
