| of what strategy is and what it isn’t |
An understanding |
| of a range of perspectives about strategy, and insights into the process of strategy creation |
Strategic tools |

A sensitivity |
| to the role of social and political influences in strategic decision-making, and the role of leaders |
A personal action plan |
