What does a director of strategic planning do?
The role of a Strategy Director has evolved significantly. Ten years ago, it was more focused on traditional business strategies and market analysis. Today, with the rapid changes in technology and global business dynamics, the role has become even more crucial.

They must leverage on innovation, data-driven insights, and emerging technologies to ensure the company remains competitive and resilient in an ever-changing business landscape.
