strategic vision
Big picture thinking
Strategic vision is a clear mental picture of what an organization or endeavor should become in the future.
It encompasses long-term goals and the broad approach for achieving them: The CEO laid out her strategic vision for the company's next decade.
Unlike tactical planning, which addresses immediate steps, strategic vision concerns direction and destination rather than the details of getting there.
