Workplace Application:
Strategy is where it's at in today's hyper-competitive workplace. This session will get you out of the weeds and focused on the Bigger Picture! 

The inclination facing every HR professional is to deal with what's right in front of him or her.  That is, what's due today. And yes, sometimes you do have to take that 'here and now' approach. But if you find days or weeks go by where you're only focused on tactical issues, you're doing your department, your company and your career a huge disservice! This session will get you out of the weeds and focused on the Big Picture in your day-to-day thinking.

Learning Objectives:

  • Discuss the difference between tactical and strategic thinking and why the latter is critical to your future success (let alone for your company).
  • Discover strategic thinking activities that you can incorporate in your day-to-day (even when you're already under water).
  • Learn how to incorporate strategic thinking in your day-to-day even if you're a Department of One.
