More On Strategic Thinking
By: J. Glenn Ebersole, Jr., Chief Executive of J. G. Ebersole Associates and The Renaissance Group™

On February 20th, I returned from St. Augustine, Florida, where I attended the 7th Annual Meeting of The First Tee (www.thefirsttee.org) and was a featured speaker on Strategic Thinking and Planning. It became clear from the reception and comments I received after my power point presentation, that I had accomplished my goal of sensitizing the attendees to the benefits of strategic thinking and planning and getting many of them to commit to starting the strategic planning process soon after they returned home. I selected a few slides from my powerpoint and have listed the information below that I shared with them.

Strategic Thinking

allows proactive thinking beyond your current activities and traditions
deals with change positively by responding to it effectively
involves making decisions that consider changes or anticipated changes in the environment
Strategic Thinking is not

a one shot deal
a box of tricks or bundle of techniques
a quick fix to solve immediate problems
What Are The Benefits of Strategic Thinking & Planning?

influence rather then be influenced
clarify or redefine your role and your target group
deal positively with the inevitable change
address critical issues you are facing
find innovative ways to achieve goals
decrease crisis management
give continuity during changing times or when there is new leadership
use resources efficiently and effectively
anticipate issues and develop policies to meet future needs
gain commitment and bring your group together to work on common goals

Do you have a strategic plan? Do you consider yourself and your team to be strategic thinkers? Are you realizing the benefits listed above by using strategic thinking and planning? If you are not, maybe your competition is using these powerful tools.

Please contact Glenn Ebersole at jgeprman@aol.com so we can talk about how you and your organization can reap these benefits.
