Strategic Thinking (Refresh)

It’s one of the most common reasons leaders don’t delegate complex work to their teams: “They don’t think strategically enough.” But what is strategic thinking and how can the skill be learnt?

In this workshop we aim to enable junior and middle managers to develop their skillset to be able to contribute to the strategic direction of the business. They will understand exactly what strategy and strategic thinking are, where they fit in the overall scheme of things – from Vision to Procedures – and how their own roles contribute to the strategy.

By the end of this session, you’ll:

  • Articulate what is meant by strategic thinking, strategy and where it ‘fits’.
  • Have knowledge of tools and processes to aid strategy setting.
  • Think differently through the use of problem-solving techniques.
  • Understand how your role and responsibilities contribute to the strategy.

Learning outcomes

  • Understand the difference between coaching, mentoring, training and performance management.
  • Appreciate the difference between performance coaching and call coaching.
  • Recognise the benefits and impact that coaching has on performance and engagement.

  • Demonstrate delivery of a coaching session through practice / demo.
  • Apply and practice coaching techniques.
