Strategic Thinking
The Hammond Educators Strategic Thinking Program equips leaders and professionals at all organizational levels with the mindset, tools, and methodologies to think and act strategically. In today’s rapidly changing environments, success depends not only on operational excellence but also on the ability to anticipate future trends, identify risks and opportunities, and align decisions with long-term organizational goals.
Through a carefully designed series of interconnected courses, this program builds the full spectrum of strategic capability—from understanding core concepts and creative problem-solving to developing cohesive teams that can execute on strategic plans with precision and purpose.
Our Strategic Thinking program is comprised of 4 courses which can be taken individually, or as a complete program:
1. Introduction to Strategic Thinking (1 Day): This foundational course introduces the disciplines of strategic thinking and the Recognize–Prioritize–Mobilize (RPM) framework to help participants align their work with organizational vision and make confident, autonomous decisions
2. Strategic Planning (2 Days): Leaders learn to transform vision into action by applying the RPM cycle to identify opportunities, assess risks, and mobilize resources for both short- and long-term organizational success
3. Developing a Strategic Thinking Team (2 Days): Managers discover how to cultivate a culture of collaboration and strategic thinking within their teams, empowering members to connect organizational goals with their personal growth and career development
4. Creative Thinking: An Essential Skill for Strategic Thinkers (2 Days): Participants develop creative thinking techniques that enhance innovation, problem-solving, and adaptability—key skills for generating fresh ideas and effective strategies in dynamic environments
Together, these courses form a comprehensive pathway that builds individual capability, strengthens team collaboration, and ensures organizations think and act strategically at every level.
