Strategic Thinking

Organisations are learning that past experience is no longer sufficient the best basis for developing future strategies. Strategic thinking is often expected only from executives and senior managers, and only in relation to setting annual budgets for tactical operations. However, today’s business environment requires that every member of the organisation not only add tactical value but be strategically relevant in order for the organisation to create economic value. Each person must develop his or her own strategic thinking and be willing to take his/her performance to the next level.

Developing strategy has never been more challenging, or more important, than in today’s environment of global competition, thus this challenging, but entertaining course revisits many of the thinking skills that lie dormant in the average person. The course explores various kinds of thinking styles and how these thinking skills can be used to improve performance in his/her organisation.
