Strategic Thinking Workshop

ABOUT

Strategic Thinking for Results was designed to address this reality – the new normal. The challenge is how to be both more agile and proactive when navigating in this environment. In Strategic Thinking for Results participants develop the mindset and skill set needed to strategically think through any situation they face at work or in life.

WORKSHOP OBJECTIVE

Participants will assess their current strategic thinking skills and develop a personal action plan to incorporate strategic thinking into their daily routines. Learning will happen while applying a powerful Strategic Thinking framework in which participants clarify and explore.
