On the one hand, the sports organizations are faced with a variable and threatening environment and on the other hand, the increasing trend of sports developments in domestic and international fields have caused more expectations and requests on the part of the society. Therefore, the research is to design a model for strategic thinking in order to improve the productivity of the Ministry of Sport and Youth. The method was qualitative based on Grounded Theory. The semi-structured interviews were used yo collect the data.The sample was chosen based on theoretical saturation (22 participants) from sports administrators and university professors through targeted method. The data was analyzed in three codifying stages that were introduced in causative effective conditions (7categories), interventional conditions (7categories), grounded conditions (2 categories) which facilitate or expedite the interrelation among these three, the required strategies (6categories) and consequences (3categories). In this paradigmatic model, “the path-oriented analysis”, “the visualizing mind”, “the coherent mind” and “the integrated thought” were chosen as the main reasons behind the institutionalization of the strategic thought in the ministry. It could be concluded that if exerted the strategies in order to institutionalize the strategic thinking in this organization, some consequences will arise such as the modernization of the ministry, the creation of a Non destructive ministry and also the clarity of the path of sport development.
