More On Strategic Thinking

On February 20th, I returned from St. Augustine, Florida, where I attended the 7th Annual Meeting of The First Tee (www.thefirsttee.org and was a featured speaker on Strategic Thinking and Planning. It became clear from the reception and comments I received after my power point presentation, that I had accomplished my goal of sensitizing the attendees to the benefits of strategic thinking and planning and getting many of them to commit to starting the strategic planning process soon after they returned home. I selected a few slides from my powerpoint and have listed the information below that I shared with them.

Strategic Thinking allows proactive thinking beyond your current activities and traditions deals with change positively by responding to it effectively involves making decisions that consider changes or anticipated changes in the environment. Strategic Thinking is not a one shot deal a box of tricks or bundle of techniques a quick fix to solve immediate problems
