Strategic Thinking On-Site Training

This on-site training class is also available as Public Schedule Seminar.

Acquire the perspective, framework, and tools necessary to engage others in strategic decision making and lead the broader strategic conversations required to outperform competitors and shape the long-term health of your team or enterprise

Course Description/Agenda

Strategic thinking is no longer a once-a-year task performed as part of the annual strategic planning process. Instead, it represents the very essence of every leader's daily work-and the essential lens through which leaders at all levels evaluate and prioritize the daily work of the organization. The key lies not just in individual skills, but also in the ability to engage others in an ongoing strategy process. In this workshop, acquire the perspective, framework, and tools necessary to engage others in strategic decision making and lead the broader strategic conversations required to outperform competitors and shape the long-term health of your team or enterprise.
