Strategic Thinking is the foundation of all effective planning, leadership, and change. The seminar features a practical systems thinking model and strategic planning approach which was developed from research on best practices. This involves "backwards thinking" to create a customer-focused, ideal future vision, them developing the strategies and actions needed to reach those goals.
You will learn how to create performance measures that reflect your organization's vision and position in the marketplace.
