The word ‘strategy’ might conjure up images of generals surveying a battlefield or a sports coach drilling their team on the game plan. But the truth is that strategy belongs in the workplace too, and not just in fancy corporations: strategic thinking is also key for government.
The benefits of being a strategic thinker are myriad, from helping you plan ahead and solve problems to identifying connections, patterns and key issues. This makes strategic thinking a key skill for leaders in government.
Yet most organisations experience a shortfall of strategic thinkers. One survey found that only 8% of senior executives can be identified as strategic leaders. This workshop will show you how you can plug this strategic thinking gap and start developing your strategic leadership skills.
Who should watch:
Anyone working in government who wants to improve their strategic thinking skills and become a more strategic leader.
