What is the Strategic Thinking Program?

Strategic thinking is a complete process that uses analysis and reasoning to build strategic visualizations that drive the achievement of the mission and goals of any organization within the context of changing environments. It is a multi-lens thinking pattern and the organization’s ability to develop and maintain a common vision of the future through which it can enrich strategic decision-making and daily planning.

Strategic thinking is the way people within an organization think, evaluate, project, and create the future for themselves and their partners.

It is beyond responding to daily problems as well as long-term problems, opportunities and new facts. Strategic thinking is concerned with creating tomorrow, not as reactions but as proactive steps.
