Δ Frequently asked questions What is the difference between a strategic thinking course and a strategic planning course? A strategic thinking course develops the ability to analyse complex situations, identify opportunities, evaluate risks, and make sound long-term decisions. A strategic planning course focuses on creating and implementing formal business plans, objectives, and action plans. Strategic thinking shapes the ideas; strategic planning puts them into practice. How can an organisation measure the ROI of a strategic thinking training course? The ROI of a strategic thinking training course can be measured through improvements in innovation and the quality of decisions, along with assessing cohesion, team collaboration on shared objectives and whether strategic decision-making has become faster and more effective. Businesses can also look for stronger leadership capability, improved execution of strategic initiatives, and greater confidence when responding to change and uncertainty. How is AI covered in this course? AI can support strategic thinking by helping to research markets and competitors, explore scenarios, and generate a wider range of options. The course develops the judgement needed to evaluate those options, weigh competing priorities, and make effective strategic decisions.
