About the Course

The “Applying Strategic Thinking” course, offered by the Australian Institute of Management, is designed for leaders seeking to enhance their strategic thinking capabilities. This two-day program focuses on equipping participants with practical tools and techniques that can be immediately applied in their workplaces. By shifting from day-to-day operational tasks to a broader strategic perspective, attendees will learn to navigate complex environments and develop effective long-term strategies.

Throughout the course, participants will explore key learning areas such as analysing the strategic environment through a BANI lens, balancing intentional and emergent strategies, and applying organisational thinking at various levels. The program also delves into the core disciplines of strategic thinkers, including pattern recognition and structured problem solving, while encouraging the development of personal action plans to extend strategic thinking practices. This course not only fosters individual growth but also promotes a culture of strategic behaviour within teams.

By completing the “Applying Strategic Thinking” course, participants will receive a certificate recognising their achievement, which can be shared with employers and peers to demonstrate their enhanced skills. Enquire to learn more.
