Program Overview

THE TREND

Working with leaders around the world, we see organizations typically have three scenarios:

People in a leadership role don’t know how to think strategically
Organizations promote employees to leadership roles, but don’t teach them how to be more strategic
Leaders who think tactically, but struggle with thinking strategically

The solution is to provide leaders with the training, tools and techniques to help them become skilled strategic thinkers.

Program Flow

As a leader, it is very important to think; but more important is thinking at a deeper strategic level. In this interactive and thought provoking program, we train leaders in the Objectives, Strategies and Tactics (OST) model, which is the framework that helps leaders think more strategically.

Training Topics

Understanding and developing tactics
Defining and identifying objectives
OST exercise and debrief

Applying OST to work projects
