- Align a diverse group of stakeholders on complex issues with incomplete information
- Generate new perspectives and unique insights within changing circumstances
- Re-calibrate and re-orient strategy using real-time data
- Work with cross-functional teams and at all levels of the organisation
- Consider best and worst-case scenarios and develop dynamic plans to support them
- Reach consensus on risks and opportunities across the enterprise
- Consider ALL impact areas and identify immediate actions for now and later
- Make informed decisions with incomplete or changing information
- Develop contingency plans for a range of potential scenarios and outcomes
Critical Thinking Professionals are trained to use the 7-Step Process either within a 1-hour timeframe in rapidly changing circumstances or over a 2-3 hour timeframe as a strategy and planning activity.
A Critical Thinking Professional is able to work in high intensity situations such as events, war room activities and strategy re-calibration activities. Their expertise also makes them the ideal leader for project review activities and recovery planning and design.
