Strategic Thinking for Managers

10 simulations. The moments where you have to lift your eyes from the work in front of you.

Most managers are promoted for solving problems quickly, then asked to decide which problems deserve solving at all. The urgent crowds out the important, a win for your team quietly costs another team more, and the good idea you should refuse is the hardest one to say no to. Strategic thinking is not a talent reserved for a few. It is a set of habits, and habits can be practised. Ten simulations put you inside those moments. Feedback, a results report, and a certificate are included.
