What is Strategic Thinking?
"Strategic thinking produces a vision, a profile of what an organization wants to become, which then helps managers make vital choices."
From: Strategy Pure & Simple II; Michel Robert; 1998 McGraw Hill Professional Book Group
|
|
Determining the Critical Issue
"By failing to grasp the critical issues, too many senior managers today impose great anxiety on themselves and their subordinates, whose efforts end in failure and frustration."
From: The Mind of the Strategist; Kenichi Ohmae; 1982 McGraw Hill Professional Book Group
|
|
Seeing the Future
"As a benchmark, our experience suggests that to develop a prescient and distinctive point of view about the future, a senior management team must be willing to spend about 20 to 50% of its time, over a period of several months."
From: Competing for the Future; Gary Hamel; 1994 Harvard Business School Press
|
|
Strategic Market Management: Characteristics and Trends
"Several distinct characteristics and trends have emerged in the strategy field."
From: Developing Business Strategies; David Aaker; 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
|
|
Asking the Right Questions
"The idea of strategy is being immersed in thought, asking provocative questions, engaging in trying to find answers, and acting decisively even though the answer is not fully formed."
From: Choosing the Future; Stuart Wells; 1998 Butterworth-Heinemann
|
|
Discerning the Relative Importance of Different Kinds of Knowledge
"Knowledge that is unique to the firm, that provides it with opportunities to develop unique combinations of assets (intangible and tangible), is more valuable than generic knowledge that can be accessed widely in the marketplace."
From: Value-Driven Intellectual Capital; Patrick Sullivan; 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
|
|
Mega-Strategies for the Knowledge Economy
"For too long, our strategic thinking has kept us confined to the box. It is now time to jump out of that box, to jump out and grasp the future, not as something which is inevitable and beyond our control, but rather, as something we actually create."
From: The Knowledge Dividend; Rene Tissen; 2000 Financial Times/Prentice Hall
|
|
From Forecasting to Foresight
"Foresight is the ability to see what is emerging."
From: Strategic Thinking and the New Science; Irene Sanders; 1998 Free Press
|
|
The New Planning Paradigm
"The new planning paradigm acknowledges and even embraces the messiness of social, economic, demographic, and political phenomena as well as emerging events and issues."
From: Strategic Thinking and the New Science; Irene Sanders; 1998 Free Press
|
|
Uncertainty Creates Opportunity
"Too often, managers treat the forecast as reality, creating an illusion of certainty about the numbers."
From: Real Options; Martha Amram; 1999 Harvard Business School Press
