Strategic Thinking Skills...Seeing Tomorrow Today!
This workshop is centered on the skills of “systemic thinking.” Using the research and writing of Dr. Peter Senge (The Fifth Discipline), the participant will learn the only way to restructure an organization to achieve greater profitability is not always downsizing people, but right-sizing the “systems” that keep pumping out the same unprofitable results.
Skills Presented: (1) How to identify the “systems” in an organization, (2) How to identify the unproductive and unprofitable systems in an organization, (3) How to confront the “stake-holders” of the unprofitable systems and get them to be part of a mutually beneficial solution, (4) How to use “leverage” to change or eliminate unproductive systems, (5) How to “test” the altered systems to determine their effectiveness and (6) How to create a strategic, long-term plan for an organization using systemic thinking.
