Strategic thinking can be somewhat of an elusive topic and may not be intuitive or reflexive for Boards and Executives. It is forward-looking, synthesizing creativity, critical analysis, and ambition, and derives from a commendable willingness to ask “why?” and “why not?”. Strategic thinking is a difficult behavior to ingrain – but offers the ability to spot opportunities and risks before your competitors. Like any worthwhile objective, it takes practice, deliberate focus, and commitment to make it a reality. A Credit Union’s commitment to superior strategic thinking helps to create and protect value for its Members, Communities, and the Credit Union System.

Attendee Takeaways:
In  this workshop:

• Participants will be able to define Strategic Thinking and how it differs from Strategic Planning.
• Participants will learn how Strategic Thinking can be applied in practice. 
• Participants will understand the importance of dedicating resources to enable Strategic Thinking.
