Strategic thinking and how do I get it?

Strategic Thinking is not Strategic Planning. Strategic Thinking requires a set of critical skills to analyze, and evaluate the steps necessary to achieve a positive outcome. Strategic Thinking is complex but can be learned. Some can develop a deep understanding of the process. Others can understand some elements of the process. Either level is of significant benefit in business and personal interactions as well. This book provides the reader with clear explanations of the necessary skills, real-life examples, and exercises to help develop their own Strategic Thinking abilities.

Creative problem solving

This book debunks the perceived mysteries and complexities of creativity and problem-solving. Most people challenged to describe how they do their day job, be it a pilot, doctor, or accountant can do this as they know how they do what they do. Ask the same people to describe how they ‘do’ creativity and the response will rarely be as clear, often a series of vague words using phrases like ‘out of the box, brainstorming, stage gates etc.’. People talk about creativity not what they ‘do’ in order to be creative. This book will change that. We are all creative problem solvers because everyone in their life has at some point had to solve a problem in a new way. However, because it happens by accident it cannot be repeated and performance cannot be improved. As any sports coach will tell you, one had first to be aware of how one does something in order to focus on the parts and them improve all of the elements before putting it all back together again.
