What is Strategic Thinking and How to Ap...

ANNE BACHRACH
About this episode

The theory of strategic thinking has been gaining steam in the business world.  While it follows the same outline as strategic planning, it differs in that it allows more flexibility, greater creativity, and more collaboration among multiple levels of management.  

 

Essentially, strategic thinking is a method outlining 5 basic steps:

  1. Understanding the implications of strategic actions
  2. Holding the past, present, and future in mind in order to make effective decisions
  3. Focusing on the goal of the action with the intent of achieving it
  4. Combining critical and creative thinking to all decisions
  5. “Intelligent optimism,” the ability to respond to good opportunities

 

Each of these steps is categorized into 7 areas. So, over the next 7 days we will explore each of the 7 steps of thinking to help you implement strategic thinking. 
 
 

So, tune in tomorrow for the first step.
