In Detail

This session helps participants understand what strategy is, and why it can be a tricky topic for some.

We start by using an analogy to help participants understand the process of strategic thinking. We also acknowledge the difficulties of strategic thinking: lack of time, discomfort with the unknown, a bias towards immediate problems and firefighting.

Next, we introduce several frameworks and steps for thinking strategically in different contexts. We consider frameworks designed by top strategy experts, and look at examples from several companies.

We also highlight strategic thinking steps on a more approachable, day-to-day level, so participants can see how they can think strategically within their roles.

Finally, we help participants understand how to measure and learn from their strategy, and adapt it when necessary.

TESTIMONIAL
“Creative Huddle ran an offsite for our board to define our strategy for the coming years. It was incredibly helpful to have a skilled facilitator to help us analyse our business, clarify our thinking and challenge us to make decisions on our future direction. Everything was clearly summarised in a concise report afterwards, which helped us maintain momentum and take tangible outcomes from the day.”

Rate your team

Take our Team High Performance Scorecard for a clear snapshot of how your team is doing across the ten factors that matter most for high performance.
You’ll rate your team against ten statements. Read each statement carefully and decide how strongly you agree or disagree, giving each a score out of 5.

For each one, you’ll get instant feedback based on your score – so you can see exactly where you're strong, where you're vulnerable, and where to focus next.

What exactly is a Talkshop?

We're glad you asked! Simply put, a Talkshop is a cross between a talk and a workshop. They're short, punchy, thought-provoking sessions. We take a key concept and explain it clearly, then help your team explore it together to understand how it can help them in their work.
