 The Strategic Thinking Process: Are You Asking the Right Questions?

Join your colleagues on November 7 at the Westin Richmond as we address the technique of strategic thinking. While we know it's important, strategic thinking is often neglected in organizational dynamics or is incorrectly viewed as interchangeable with strategic planning.

Dr. John Dentico will explore these complementary processes and how they represent the difference between leadership and management, effectiveness and efficiency, and transforming and incremental change. Attendees will engage in a Micro Strategic Thinking Exercise using the TSWG method, leveraging their experience and knowledge to develop an initial plan to increase association membership.
