Applying Strategic Thinking
Thinking strategically is a key capability for anyone that has managerial or executive responsibilities. The challenge is moving from the specifics of day-to-day operational service delivery to the much bigger picture overview required in the strategic dimension of work.
In this program we explore the concept of strategic thinking from a number of different perspectives, demonstrating that strategic thinking plays a far greater role in our individual success and effectiveness than is commonly acknowledged.
The program provides participants with a wide range of practical tools and techniques that they can take back to their workplaces and use to help themselves and their teams be more strategic and develop more effective long-term strategies.
Who Should Attend?
This two-day program is designed for public and private sector executive staff who wish both to strengthen their strategic thinking abilities and to develop more strategic behaviours in the workplace.
