The Strategic Thinking Mindset is one of six mindsets of your Transformative Skills Pack.
Strategy is an art, and mastering any art form requires you to develop a unique focus, skill set, and mindset. Many organizations think they have this figured out yet fail to realize the difference between tactics and strategy. At an operational level, they can bounce back from tactical setbacks, but at a strategic level, problems can bring everything crashing down. Organizations need strategic thinkers who are not afraid of complexity. They require innovative individuals who can focus on an organization’s future and experiment with various strategic scenarios.
Learn from the inside out
Business strategy comes from internal and external forces. A formal and planned strategy approach implies that every possibility is considered during the analysis and evaluation of strategic options. For some organizations, this is not practical, and various alternatives are practiced.
In this course, you’ll learn how to set a formal strategic process rather than an informal plan.
Implement strategy with success
- Understand emergent strategies.
- Use inside-out and outside-in strategies.
- Apply vision for a clear future.
Gain competitive advantage
Ultimately, it’s not the choice of strategic process or even strategic plan that is important. Everyone within the organization must share the same vision and goals — and all pull in the same direction to achieve those goals. This course will enable you to do this by giving you the tools to successfully implement strategic processes in your business model through detailed case studies and exercises.
