STRATEGIC THINKING DRIVES RESULTS

Transcript

Here's why mastering the why is so critical. When people think about strategy or strategic thinking, they often picture well-known influencers, best-selling authors talking about big ideas, big policy, and big innovation. Here's how I measure strategic thinking at the marketing level: your ability to have intelligent and thoughtful conversations with executives and senior managers. When they ask you why you are making certain decisions, you can respond with clarity, explaining the why and the how behind your decision. You can use the following sentences to demonstrate your strategic thinking capability: I made a recommendation based on the research I've conducted. Here are the insights I've gathered. The best one is: I had conversations with many customers and they share blah blah blah. If you can articulate your recommendation in a way that helps executives connect different dots and persuade them to see your perspective, you in a way are a strategic thinker. Strategic thinking also means anticipating their needs and questions. Can you foresee their questions before you present? Don't be afraid to engage with executives. The more you talk to them, the better you'll become at thinking strategically. If you don't know how to do that, reach out to me. Let's talk. Bye.
