PM Insights Foster City Virtual Meeting: Strategic Thinking: A Rare and Valuable Competency

 

 

PM Insights Foster City - 

Strategic Thinking:  A Rare and Valuable Competency

 

 

Research shows that the next generation of leaders must be able to demonstrate:

• The ability to think strategically
• An understanding of the parts of the organization and how each part contributes to the value proposition
• An ability to drive change

As project managers progress to more demanding and strategic projects, they need to better distinguish good strategy from bad strategy.  They need to be able to cope with ambiguity and non-linear complex environments.

This engaging presentation will help the audience recognize and describe the four pillars that define strategic thinking, how strategic thinking is different from strategic planning, the four DICE X-factors of strategic thinking, the Ben Franklin technique for applying the microskills of strategic thinking, and why “competent strategic thinker” ought to be part of your personal brand.

 

  

 

• A list of 20 strategic thinking microskills and an invitation to join the LinkedIn group, Practitioners of Strategic Thinking Microskills
• An awareness of the landmarks on the map of operational thinking and how they are different from the landmarks on the map of strategic thinking
