Thinking Strategically

How to Resist the "Circle of Habit" and Generate Breakthroughs for Your Team

Thinking strategically is critical.

Yet 96% of leaders report they are too busy reacting to day-to-day management issues to think strategically (HBR).

Designed and facilitated by seasoned business leaders, this course will teach you to resist the pull of your routines so you can ask the right questions, spark innovation, navigate uncertainty, and take advantage of strategic opportunities. Through the use of real-world examples, collaborative discussion, and personal reflection, you’ll learn to rise above the daily grind and generate innovative breakthroughs for your teams.

In this course, you will learn how to:

  • Focus on strategic initiatives instead of short-term fire-fighting.
  • Ask the right questions to spark innovation.
  • Navigate through uncertainty.
  • Identify, analyze, and take advantage of strategic opportunities.

Actionable. Practical. Important.

Strategic thinking is a very squishy topic, and something a majority of us are not taught to do. Persimmon's class provided some structure and actionable recommendations that will benefit my career, my company, and my personal knowledge. Thank you for the time and knowledge!

Helped Me Get Unstuck.

I often get caught in the "deal bunker" as we say in banking—where you're so worried about the ins and outs of a deal and execution that you forget to do business development or other strategic parts of your job that must continue no matter how busy you are. This class will help my business grow!
