Programme detail
Strategic Thinking for Senior Leaders
Think and structure problems the way a top-tier consulting team does.
RegisterOverview
Strategy fails at the decision layer, and that is what this room fixes
Senior leaders are rarely short of information. What separates the best is the ability to impose structure on a messy problem quickly. This two day course installs that ability.
You learn the structured problem-solving methods used by top tier consulting firms: the Pyramid Principle for building an argument, MECE logic trees for decomposing ambiguity, and hypothesis driven analysis for getting to an answer without exhausting the team. Everything is practised on purpose built cases with live AI tools, and you leave with a personal decision checklist and a repeatable way to structure any recommendation.
Two days from method to mandate. The spiral approach runs each technique on progressively harder material, ending with a full purpose built case worked from ambiguous brief to defensible recommendation.
- Spiral approach
- Each StratDo tool is revisited at greater depth, so the method compounds.
- Case study method
- Purpose-built cases from the sectors we consult in, worked in the room.
Who should attend
Senior leaders who must structure ambiguous problems and defend recommendations to executives.
