As Dorie Clark says, "Strategy is making changes today to make tomorrow better." Sometimes, we give up on our long-term goals too quickly because the tomorrow we are looking at is too close. In this session, Steve Fullerton breaks down the essence of strategic thinking and planning. Continuous, conscious progress toward a positive goal requires continuous effort. Attendees will learn about techniques for evolving organization cultures, reorienting the value of knowledge to shift from information hoarding to open sharing, and rebuilding the job ladder to support hybrid and remote work environments. Walk away with a practical understanding of strategic thinking, equipped with refined long-term strategies and actionable pathways for future organizational success.

Takeaway

What is strategic thinking?
How to work as a team to create a forward vision.
An understanding that when thinking about future state, failure along the way is OK.
Creating a vision of what "done" looks like requires change. Culture does not like change. Attendees will work though how to mitigate through changes.
