Overview

Through an eight week journey involving assessment, collective and individual learning modules, reflection, real-world application, and one-on-one coaching, participants learn both a strategic thinking process and the key supporting skills that will develop them into competent, self-aware strategic thinkers.

• best-practice blended design

• applied learning to deepen and consolidate learning over time

• a truly personal and transformational learning experience.

​

Who should attend? 

• Senior and mid-senior leaders and experienced individual contributors.

• Mid-level leaders who are preparing for promotion to senior leadership roles.

• Senior leaders who are recently promoted or experienced but want to build on their existing skills and gain more clarity.

• Technical specialists and other senior professionals who may not lead a team but contribute at strategic levels and want to have more influence.

• Anyone experiencing performance challenges in the area of strategic thinking or complex strategic level problem-solving.

 

Assessment

A Cognitive Process Profile (CPP) assessment, a robust, valid and sophisticated psychometric assessment, provides in-depth assessment of each participants’ strategic thinking ability  including strengths, development areas, cognitive styles and learning potential.

​

Strategic thinking process

Participants learn a strategic thinking process that gives them the ‘how to’ tools and forms the foundation of their learning. The process is a tool that will elevate awareness of their thinking, provide structure, and help them to:

• gain the clarity and confidence needed for making deliberate strategic choices,

• link day to day decisions to the bigger organisational picture, 

• recognise and avoid reactive decisions, and

• access their best insights on important business issues.
   

Strategic thinking capabilities

To support real-world application of the strategic thinking process, participants will learn the skills of effective strategic thinkers as well as key neuroscience principles that explain how the human brain both helps and hinders us as strategic thinkers.  

​

Small group and one-on-one coaching

The coaching aspect of the programme provides participants with the opportunity to cement and build on their learning and insight, as well as target their personal development needs.
