Cultivating Strategic Thinking for Service Leadership and Innovation Teams   

Introduction

 

Unleashing the Power of Strategic Thinking  

In today's fast-paced and competitive business landscape, organizations often find themselves in a reactive mode, dealing with issues as they arise rather than proactively planning for the future. They struggle to foster a culture of strategic thinking that can drive innovation, create value, and ensure long-term success. Additionally, the lack of understanding and appreciation for strategic thinking often leads to missed opportunities for growth and differentiation. 

 

Missing the Opportunity for Sustainable Competitive Advantage  
Are you constantly firefighting issues but unsure how to plan for the future? Do you find it challenging to foster a culture of strategic thinking within your teams? Are you missing out on opportunities to create unique value and gain a sustainable competitive advantage?  
 
If your answer is yes, then it's time to cultivate strategic thinking within your organization! 

In the Executive Service Roundtable of September, we will discuss 4 key aspects to get started. 

 

By the end of this roundtable, you will have a clear understanding of what strategic thinking is, why it's important, and how you can cultivate it within your organization to drive innovation, create value, and ensure long-term success.

Overview of meetings in each monthly Roundtable

Every month, we start a new Roundtable with another theme.

For each monthly Roundtable, we will host 4 online meetings of 1 hour each:

1. A Kick-Off meeting on the first Monday of the Month.
   We present best practices and practical frameworks, after which we have a peer discussion.
2. A first Ask-Us-Anything meeting on the second Monday of the month.
   We will discuss a few of the questions that were submitted by participants beforehand.
3. A Deep-Dive meeting on the third Monday of the month.
   We present a deep-dive on the 1-2 topics participants chose, after which we have a peer discussion.
4. A second Ask-Us-Anything meeting on the fourth Monday of the month.
   To close the topic, we will discuss a few of the questions that were submitted by participants beforehand.

We run each meeting in two sessions to allow participants from most time zones to participate.

The Kick-Off meetings are for all (free) members.

The other three meetings are only for All Access members.
