Strategy is vital to effective and efficient public service
delivery as well as successful governance and leadership. This new
text provides a concise yet systematic overview of the
achievements, downfalls and complexities of public strategy in
today's globalized and often market-driven world. It describes the
place of strategy in civic societies whose citizens are more
interconnected and vocal than ever. It shows that successful
strategic planning goes well beyond problem-solving to developing
adaptable plans that can evolve as requirements and circumstances
change. And it explains why muddling through simply won't work.
Emphasizing the importance of applying a variety of techniques to
the process of strategy-creation, Rethinking Public Strategy
reassesses the key factors that can deliver significant
improvements in public services and build public value. It looks at
why public strategy is distinctive, as well as the principles it
has in common with the corporate domain. This text includes
numerous case studies from around the globe - from South Africa to
Singapore, the USA to Germany, and from China to the Czech Republic
- that ground the exposition in real experience. Based on
state-of-the-art research by two expert practitioners in the field,
it offers an essential guide to the art of strategy in the
contemporary public sector, and encourages readers to evaluate
critically the various approaches to strategy.
