Abstract
The paper analyzes the case of organizing and conducting strategic sessions, their practice being realized over the past few years at the Moscow School of Management Skolkovo and in other projects on developing university strategies with the author’s participation. This case is important, as the strategic sessions today have a mass format, and their practice analysis often shows insufficient theoretical and methodological validity. The case presents the main elements of the methodology for conducting strategic sessions. There are shown a number of methods for providing the basic processes of such sessions – thinking and self-determination. The main element of such sessions is described in detail – that is, the formation of content. This case study is addressed to university leaders who are responsible for strategic planning, as well as to session leaders, to experts, and to consultants in this field.
