Strategic Thinking: Systems Thinking In BusinessStrategic thinking is one of the top 3 most critical skills for 21st century leaders. Learning to use systems thinking in business situations is key to success in a complex world. “We fixate on events…last month’s sales, new budget cuts, [the current stock price]…Yet the primary threats to our survival today come not from events but from slow gradual processes to which we are 90 percent blind.” – Peter Senge in The Fifth Discipline Leaders are daily confronted with complex and ambiguous situations and choices. Addressing these situations successfully requires the ability to develop strategy for the future while drawing on experience, knowledge, intelligence, intuition, and creativity – in short, thinking differently.
