Strategic Awareness and
Business Acumen Workshop

‘The reason most people never reach their goals is that they don’t define them, or ever seriously consider them as believable or achievable. Winners can tell you where they are going, what they plan to do along the way, and who will be sharing the adventure with them.’ - Denis Watley 

Strategic awareness rarely features in modern management, yet is something that can fundamentally change conversations and decision-making at the Board level. In essence, strategic awareness is the fusion of strategic thinking and personal awareness. Strategic opportunities exist all around us, often through the information people carry with them. Capitalizing on these opportunities requires you to be more alert and attentive to what is happening in the world around you. In doing this, you are more prepared to gather and evaluate the information you are receiving. Strategy and awareness are each essential to superior performance, which is the prime target of any enterprise. Not one of Steve Jobs’ ideas would have stood a chance of becoming an innovative product had he not been able to operate from strategic awareness. A study from the Economist Intelligence Unit reports that two-thirds of corporate executives believe a lack of strategic awareness and business skills or business acumen inhibits their company from meeting strategic priorities.
