Strategic Doing Fellows are at the very heart of the community. Fellows are the people who are able to teach the practitioner training. The Institute approves new Fellows based largely on the recommendation of the faculty of the Strategic Doing Fellow Academy.
While many management tools and systems have trainers, Strategic Doing is different. Fellows engage in “reflective practice” as an essential part of their development – that is, they practice the discipline, not just teach it, and through that practice deepen their understanding of the discipline. As such, Fellows embody the spirit and practice of the Strategic Doing discipline and community.
