Strategic Thinking

Overview

Picture this. You’re in a job interview, you’ve prepped, re-read your CV for the 10th time, and you’re ready. It’s going well, but just when you think it’s in the bag, the interviewer asks a question that makes you draw a blank. Oh no! You’re puzzled, deadpan, stumble over your own thoughts, and you start to ramble instead of giving a thought-out, coherent answer. Oops.

The truth is, in that moment you would have benefitted from the ability to think strategically. Different from strategic planning, strategic thinking is a skill which helps you to think ‘on your feet’ and make confident decisions. Whether you’re a manager, an employee who has been asked an unexpected question, a gamer, or looking to land that dream job, thinking strategically can help you organise your thoughts and make decisions. This short course has been designed to show you how.
