| Abstract |
The need to create a capability for strategic thinking at multiple organizational levels has increasingly been recognized as central to creating and sustaining competitive advantage in the face of the rapid environmental change that characterizes many business environments today. Strategic thinking is traditionally defined as creative, disruptive, future-focused, and experimental in nature and seen to be at odds with traditional notions of strategic planning. Redefining strategic thinking in terms of a systems or holistic view, a focus on intent, thinking in time, a hypothesis-driven approach, and an ability to be intelligently opportunistic integrates the concept more comfortably into the strategic planning process. |
