Welcome to the launch of StrategicMatters, an updated version of the StrategyMatters blog linked to the Gooding Davies Consultancy website.

A temporary change of hosting arrangements specifically for this blog while our main website undergoes a major update means that the name has had to change as well, at least for a little while. However the principle remains the same: strategy matters! In restarting this blog after a long break we will continue to examine key strategic issues, based on current research and a general survey of what’s happening in relation to planning, transport, advocacy, policy development and project and organisation management.

This blog will continue to complement the social media and online services focus of our other blog, Sociamind, which is also being relaunched but which retains its current title. Both blogs will also highlight key research and other projects undertaken by Gooding Davies Consultancy, as well as responses to important current issues.
