Strategic Thinking refers to the process of thinking through problems and situations through a big picture lens, considering the implications of various actions, then acting upon the most ideal strategy for overall business success.
Good strategic thinkers look at challenges and opportunities analytically and consider them within the context of a company's vision and goals. Whether used by a strategy manager considering how to allocate an investment or a business developer evaluating the potential of expanding into a new market, strategic thinking is a skill that can be learned, practiced, and refined. Strategic thinking gives managers the clarity and edge needed to make better decisions and continuously move their companies in right direction.
In this instructor-led, live training, we walk new managers through the most important concepts of strategic thinking, putting theory into practice through task-based activities based on real-life cases. Participants get a unique opportunity to learn new ways of thinking, implement key concepts to solve problems, reflect on how these principles apply to their own work, and listen to and share their own perspectives with their instructor and class peers.
