Is your school genuinely ready for disruption and uncertainty in its future strategy setting?

As education leaders often observe, “Strategic Planning is based on the expectation of order. Strategic Preparation is based on the expectation of disorder.” Our question is: can any school truly afford not to prepare for both?

Strategic preparation capability is an undervalued asset. Unlike traditional strategic planning, which assumes predictability, strategic preparation acknowledges and embraces uncertainty. This is particularly crucial in education communities where stability and adaptability must coexist for future sustainability and growth.

The concept of strategic preparation leads directly to institutional resilience – a most valuable characteristic for schools navigating a complex and uncertain future.
