How to Think Strategically
This course introduces participants to a comprehensive framework that defines what it means to think strategically. Using the metaphor of a road trip, the course helps you identify the elements that will shape the quality of your journey—from the fuel and vehicles you select to the drivers and passengers that occupy them. The course helps you anticipate the “road blocks” and the “hazards” that are likely to appear once you start moving—from the landmarks and detours along the way.
