Strategic Thinking - Martin Victor Badger
Chapter 1: Introduction to Strategic Thinking
In today's dynamic and competitive business landscape, organizations need more than just short-term tactics to thrive and succeed. They require a long-term vision, a strategic roadmap that guides their decisions and actions towards achieving their goals. This is where strategic thinking comes into play. In this chapter, we will explore the fundamentals of strategic thinking and understand its significance in unlocking the power of long-term planning.
1.1 What is strategic thinking? Strategic thinking is a cognitive process that involves analyzing complex situations, envisioning future possibilities, and formulating strategies to achieve desired outcomes. It goes beyond day-to-day problem-solving and focuses on the bigger picture. Strategic thinkers possess the ability to see beyond immediate challenges and identify long-term opportunities and risks.
