Is your strategic thinking that strategic?

Are you walking into the future looking backwards?

I have the conversation about strategic thinking a couple of times a week, and every time the first question I have is:

The response is nearly always the same, a list of activities or a ‘To Do’ list that is either operational or tactical, and not really strategic as all. At best I would estimate that less than 5% of conversations actually refer to true strategic thinking,
