I have been extremely fortunate to interview a range of senior military officers and public servants through the course of academic research in 2017. Strategic failures emerge when ‘thinkers’ are separated from ‘doers’, ‘strategists’ from ‘planners’ and ‘soft data’ from ‘hard data’. Strategic failure.
