Sometimes referred to as corporate development managers
Managers with a formal responsibility for contributing to strategy process
Strategist is not only making strategy but helping other departments to develop their own capabilities in strategy
Strategic planners do not take strategic decisions themselves but have at least three important tasks:
Information and analysis: they have the time, skills and resources to provide information and analysis for key decision makers
Managers of the strategy process: can assist and guide other managers through strategic planning cycles and help CEOs design strategy processes
Special projects: can support top management on acquisitions or organisational change
