The Strategic Vision and Future Planning subfacet focuses on the ability to create and maintain a long-term vision for one’s career. It involves the identification of evolving trends, setting strategic priorities, and aligning efforts to meet long-term career goals. This subfacet also looks at the planning process that enables individuals to be proactive and prepared for future career challenges.
Abstract: Studies on strategic foresight and planning underscore the importance of anticipating future trends and aligning current actions with long-term goals. The work of Mintzberg (1994) on emergent strategies emphasizes that while long-term planning is vital, flexibility and adaptability are equally critical to achieving strategic success.
