Build your capability to outline a meaningful future direction for an organisation.

Organisations are complex systems which require strategic leadership to become, and remain, successful. Leaders are increasingly expected to model an ambidextrous approach to handling the challenges inherent in managing organisations. In the volatile context of modern business, the ability to utilise strategic thinking for competitive advantage is a valuable skill for every leader.

The Strategic Thinking online course introduces the main principles of strategic thinking. You will learn the foundations of complexity thinking, explore the strategic challenge of balancing innovation and efficiency, and start to address some the key strategic questions applicable for every organisation. As you consider the actions and assets available to you as a leader, you will begin to move your organisation in a more strategic direction.
