Abstract
In the last 20 years, strategic management in government has been seen as more than a management decision-making technique and, arguably, it has come to be seen as at the heart of the reform of public governance. This means we have got way beyond simply saying civil servants and public managers as individuals should be good at strategic thinking. There has been a continuous call for governments as institutions to become strategic to have strategic capabilities in carrying out their role on behalf of society.
