Strategic Thinking

Strategic thinking involves intuition and creativity to synthesize internal and external stimuli to create an integrated perspective. It allows one to see current realities and possibilities to make choices that lead to desired outcomes. While strategic planning results in identified strategies, strategic thinking is a way to envision what could be through analysis of opportunities, threats, and power dynamics. Limiting biases and developing shared analysis among a group can help improve strategic thinking skills. Self-reflection on strengths, weaknesses, and adjustments as well as cultivating a culture that promotes strategic thinking at both individual and group levels are important.
