Most strategies are deliberate in structure. They are intentional, vetted, and data-supported prior to implementation. Occasionally, a change of plans might occur due to unexpected events requiring a change of action. This strategy is called emergent.

I would like you to define and debate the origins and differences between a deliberate strategy and an emergent strategy and how might an emergent strategy help with future strategic planning processes?

Deliberate strategies are planned, data-supported, implemented, and managed. Emergent strategies are often unexpected, reactionary, and untested.

Part of the process for strategic development is the establishment of metrics to measure the progressive success of the strategic plan.
