- Chart a compelling vision that is informed by consultation of different stakeholders, target groups and governance bodies and which outlines the Think and Do unique value proposition.
- Articulate clear strategic objectives and spell out the intervention logic, approach, and capacities that Think and Do should deploy to achieve them.
- Map the implications of the strategy on the internal structure and processes and chart a clear operational plan to make the actions required for the implementation of the strategy.
- Create a sufficient basis for Think and Do Tank to articulate measure and articulate its results.
