The Strategic Choice Approach

Abstract

Abstract The Strategic Choice Approach to planning under pressure has been developed by OR scientists as a means of facilitating communication among decision‐makers with diverse perspectives, allegiances and skills. Its function is to enable them to make sustained progress together in exploring the structure of complex decision problems, and in charting progress towards timely commitments to agreed actions. It offers a balanced set of communication tools which are primarily visual in form, yet are interlinked within a philosophy of planning that recognises the challenges that decision‐makers face in responding strategically to diverse sources of uncertainty, including those that call for a political or structural rather than an analytical response. The principles and leading tools of the approach are briefly introduced, with references to the growing range of applications in fields of collaborative planning ranging from local community action to national environmental policy.
