An employee’s everyday work is focused primarily on routine: familiar tasks, activities, and challenges. For many organizations, the ability to keep up with change can pose some significant problems. CMOE’s Strategic Thinking Workshop focuses on two very important skills: how to meet the business goals and objectives of today while taking the necessary time to seek out, plan for, and act on opportunities that will affect business results tomorrow.
CMOE has spent the last three decades improving individual leadership and team member skills within organizations. We can help you and your team members learn to build a high-performance workforce that is prepared to deal with today’s ever-changing marketplace.
What is Strategic Thinking on a Team Level?
Strategic thinking refers to analyzing factors and variables that can influence the long-term success of a team. Just as each team member has a different role in the problem-solving process, each member also has a different perception of the problem and how to solve it. Only through team alignment and collaboration between team members will any final decision be implemented. By using strategic thinking skills, team members learn different styles of thinking, being open and innovative rather than a hindrance to the process.
How to Improve Strategic Thinking
1. Establish Open Communication: Open communication allows team members to share new insights and increases collaboration.
2. Encourage Continuous Learning: Continuous learning keeps the team updated on industry trends and best practices, as well as plan for the future.
3. Practice Scenarios: Practicing scenarios helps the team anticipate potential challenges and opportunities to solve them.
4. Involve Team Members in Goal Setting: Involving team members in goal setting ensures alignment with the organization’s strategic objectives.
5. Leverage Data to Make Decisions: Using data to inform decisions grounds strategic thinking in evidence, leading to more accurate and effective strategies.
