Today we are talking about Step 2 to help you implement strategic thinking, which is to have a strategic formulation and implementation. Formulation and implementation are interactive rather than sequential and discrete. This is a more interactive way to strategize and involves multiple levels of managerial roles, providing creative input, and potentially improving the results.

Have clear and focused goals and milestones.

Once you’ve written your mission statement, you have the big picture. From there, create smaller milestones or goals that are very focused and specific. Be sure they include target dates. Your entire team should be on the same page in order to be in the highest probability position to achieve all the goals.

The theory of strategic thinking has been gaining steam in the business world. While it follows the same outline as strategic planning, it differs in that it allows more flexibility, greater creativity, and more collaboration among multiple levels of management.

Essentially, strategic thinking is a method outlining 5 basic steps:

1. Understanding the implications of strategic actions
2. Holding the past, present, and future in mind in order to make effective decisions
3. Focusing on the goal of the action with the intent of achieving it
4. Combining critical and creative thinking to all decisions
5. “Intelligent optimism,” the ability to respond to good opportunities

Each of these steps is categorized into 7 areas. So, over the next 7 days we will explore each of the 7 steps of thinking to help you implement strategic thinking.

So, tune in tomorrow for the first step.
