Be Strategic

You are here:   Home   >  Be Strategic

Do you think ahead AND consider current issues?

Being Strategic means balancing the aspirations for the future with the limited resources and risks of today.

 Strategic thinkers keep their eye on the big goal. And are flexible in how to get to the goal - in light of changes around us.

Strategic thinkers can: 

  • Manage complexity

  • Solve problems creatively

  • Create breakthroughs

  • Impact and influence

  • Thrive during ambiguity

  • Make decisions with insight

Strategic thinkers:

  • Recognize and take advantage of opportunities that others may miss

  • Focus on solving the right problems

  • Achieve business goals rapidly

  • Are proactive instead of reactive during changing condition 

Are you managing strategically - everyday?

Each day do you make decisions that move you closer to your goals?

Strategic Management includes thinking strategically and applying that thinking to planning and implementing the associated changes.

 

Strategic Thinking

  • A high-level way of thinking. A simple and holistic way of understanding how individuals, teams and organizations work.

  • With strategic thinking you can step back and “see the forest,” not just the trees.

  • And understand the relationship between parts of the system, between the parts and the whole system, and between the system and other systems.
