The book is based on the exchange of professional experiences which featured in an IUCN CEC workshop in August 2002. Practitioners from around the world shared their models of good practice and explored the challenges involved in engaging people in sustainability. The difficulties facing practitioners vary between country and context but some challenges are universal: A lack of clarity in communicating what is meant by sustainable development; An ambition to educate everyone to bring about a global citizenship; Social, organisational or institutional factors constrain change to sustainable development, yet there is an emphasis on formal education, and community educators do not receive the same support; A lack of balance in addressing the integration of environmental, social and economic dimensions leading to an interpretation that ESD is mainly about environment and conservation issues; New learning (rather than teaching) approaches are called for to promote more debate in society. Yet, few are trained or experienced in these new approaches. Practitioners need support to explore new ways of promoting learning. [Foreword, ed].

Este libro presenta un enfoque profesional centrado en la estrategia. Basado rigurosamente en el pensamiento actual y los conceptos teóricos en el campo de la gestión estratégica, proporcionará al profesional de la estrategia un enfoque sistemático y orientado a la reflexión para el pensamiento estratégico. ”Este libro es excelente por varias razones. Destaca cómo la estrategia puede ser mucho más práctica, más tangible. Pone un énfasis especial en las personas que hacen que las estrategias resulten eficaces. Es imprescindible tanto para los profesionales, como para los estudiantes y académicos.” Profesor Peter Lorange, del Lorange Institute of Business, Zurich, Suiza ”Estrategia en la práctica, del profesor Tovstiga, se centra en el pensamiento estratégico aplicado. Tovstiga aduce que las piedras angulares en la estrategia son el pensamiento y discernimiento estratégico más que la planificación estratégica y, en consecuencia, sienta las bases en este interesante nuevo libro para los gerentes, directores y miembros de consejos directivos que desean mejorar su pensamiento estratégico y sus habilidades en la creación de ideas estratégicas.” Leif Bergmann, consejero delegado de Henley Nordic, Copenhague, Dinamarca.
