Even in today’s ever-changing organizational environment, successful leaders are able to envision a coherent future that doesn’t exist today. Their ability to see beyond tomorrow begins with the process of strategic thinking. Strategic thinkers embrace a broad perspective of their organization, build strategic partners and alliances, and are acutely aware of the trends and developments that impact their present and future realities. Successful leaders not only manage the day to day objectives of their organization, but they also strategically position themselves for tomorrow. These are only but a few of the key strategic thinking attributes that will define a leader. Without this foundation, how can your organization develop a strategic plan, see the process through and accomplish goals? Thinking strategically requires both technical and tactical skills. Technical skills such as metacognition are rarely discussed around the management or leadership table, and are not widely understood by even those who are responsible for the strategic path. Similarly, tactical factors such as environmental scanning are often overlooked and not used to strategically build alliances which can position your organization to take advantage of time sensitive opportunities. Now more than ever with local and global influences, like changing demographics, technology, and emerging markets, strategic thinking is an absolute necessity for organizational success. Those leaders that can think strategically, develop a strategic plan and energize their organization to implement the necessary processes, will out maneuver, out distance, and out perform their competition. In this 3 day program through discussions and case studies, you will enhance your strategic thinking and planning skills in order to ensure the long-term success and survivability of your organization.
