Strategic Thinking
Those in positions of leadership require the ability to plan and implement tactically, as well as work and think strategically. As a leader, you must be able to look outside your own area of responsibility for fresh ideas, and develop solutions with the potential to deliver real strategic value to the organisation.
At the Strategic Thinking workshop, you will discover the attributes of strategic thinkers and build upon your own abilities. You will gain an understanding of the key components of strategic thinking and acquire the perspective, framework, and tools necessary to engage others in strategic decision-making.
