Strategic Thinking

Society is evolving rapidly, and evolutionary pressures require new leadership paradigms and new frameworks for strategic thinking. Current business paradigms view organizational members as “cogs in the wheel” and this enables passivity and victim behavior. People are treated as children, not independent adults who are self-directed in pursuit of their own destiny and can think for themselves. 

As leaders of the future, we see the organization as a living system where we create the conditions to unfold the potential of the business and every individual therein. The organization’s members have the opportunity to find areas of organizational contribution and evolve their capacity aligned with their own aspirations. A living systems model that contributes to the betterment of people, organization and society, requires each member to be a strategic thinker. 

Strategic thinking means we transcend habitual thought patterns to access higher levels of awareness and creativity. This requires leaders to develop self-understanding of their ingrained mental models, biases and worldviews and to practice challenging their assumptions to unlock new perspectives. Strategic thinking is fundamental to unleashing innovation in an organization. 

The Strategic Thinking program guides you on an explorative journey to understand the beliefs, principles and concepts that influence your leadership approach and provides tools for sharpening decision making and strategic thinking.
