HOW TO THINK STRATEGICALLY: ESSENTIAL SKILLS TO INCREASE YOUR IMPACT

 

Managers at all levels are expected to engage regularly in strategic thinking. However, only the managers who consistently provide meaningful business insights, which enhance their organization's competitive edge, are likely to thrive and be presented with opportunities for advancement.

Strategic thinking is an open-ended activity, which makes it very challenging for some. As a result, It is helpful to have techniques and tools to expand one's capacity for strategic thinking and develop confidence in this area.

This program will equip you with the skills to engage in strategic thinking that can have a transformative impact on organizations, through interactive exercises and real-world case studies.
