Leadership Development, 15 minutes, self-paced
Thinking Strategically
Strategic thinking is using what happened before and what is true now to plan what your team does next. This course covers the fundamentals leaders use to build a plan, including establishing what the work needs, thinking long term, watching for industry trends, and measuring progress, plus how to bring stakeholders in early and prepare for a strategic meeting; it is one course in the Operational Planning curriculum.
