Planner sets out its targets (10)
I believe the answer is:
strategist
'planner' is the definition.
(I know that strategist is a type of planner)
'sets out its targets' is the wordplay.
'sets out' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'set out' mean this).
'its'+'targets'='itstargets'
'itstargets' anagrammed gives 'STRATEGIST'.
(Other definitions for strategist that I've seen before include "Expert on the art of planning war" , "general" , "Long-term planner" .)
