Strategic Thinking in the 21st Century: A two-day professional development training
This program will be customized to your organization and offered to your team. There are currently no open enrollment offerings.
Many organizations struggle with fundamental principles of strategy execution. Research shows that only 9% of companies excel in execution, and just 11% of managers believe their organization’s strategic priorities are adequately supported with financial and human resources. These performance gaps often stem from leaders and key managers not fully embracing strategic thinking. At LBL Strategies, we address this challenge head-on, equipping your leaders to think, plan, and act strategically in just two days.

Addressing the Types of Leadership Issues
Do you often see strategy meetings veer off topic? Are your team members engaged and aligned with the organization’s strategic direction? Is budget dictating your strategy? Are there external opportunities and threats that are being ignored? We’ll cover each of these specific problems and more in this introduction to strategic thinking tools and exercises. All organizations face these issues, but not all organizations address them. The two-day program will provide you with the ability to understand how strategic thinking guides day-to-day operational work — and, in turn, leave you with tools, exercise, and 10 key questions to help you think and act strategically.
