Description
Leaders are called upon to make critical decisions in a complex environment while facing the constraints of limited resources. This course will introduce a model for strategic thinking and decision-making that guides leaders through four critical stages of strategic thinking.
Participants will learn about the four elements of strategic thinking and then work in small groups to apply the model as they work to solve a real-world strategic challenge. Participants will use proven strategic thinking tools and templates which they will then be able to use as they face future challenges.
