A Reader asks: How to get more 'Strategic'?

I have a few more posts to write from things I saw and heard at the HR Technology Conference, but this question came in from a reader in reaction to my 'Be Curious' post:

I am only provided information on a "need to know" basis. Never included in planning meetings, etc. What can I do to prove my value and become more strategic?

I did reply to the question, but I figured I would throw this one out to the community. What do you think, how does the average HR Generalist in a company that does not seem to place much value in the HR function break out of the administrative, paper-pushing role and become more 'strategic?

What specific steps should he/she take?

Thoughts?
