Abstract

Many strategic planning tools have been developed based on the experts' judgement, which illustrates the importance of the strategic planning team members' viewpoint and opinion about finalising a strategy. Thus, choosing the right people in the strategic development committee is a significant challenge in strategy formulation. Considering the impact of this choice on the quality of the strategy formulation process, this research provides a guidance to select the members of this team in the projects environment. The purpose of this paper is to identify and explain the behavioural characteristics of the proper project strategist for any type of projects. By developing a framework for categorising various types of projects and applying psychological theories about personality types and adapting them together, this paper introduces the personality traits of the project strategist in terms of the eight personality types including: 1) organisational mediator strategist; 2) mediator technologist strategist; 3) politician technologist strategist; 4) showman strategist; 5) quick decision-maker strategist; 6) opinionated technologist strategist; 7) inspiring genius strategist; 8) politician bureaucratic strategist.
