Strategic Thinking
Problem Identification
Often the problems we think we need to solve are not where the true problem lies, to find the underlying core problem often relies on asking the most basic of questions, arriving at the answers to these questions will set you on the correct course.
Challenging Assumptions
We all make assumptions due to prevailing thought patterns that we have been conditioned to believe. Breaking the conditioning of our thoughts can enlighten us to challenge our assumptions.
Breaking Boxes
Challenging the status quo requires new thinking, but often we have to challenge old thinking to let new thoughts in. What do you now to be true. For absolute certain. The earth is round right? Actually it is not quite round. The sky is blue. What about at night?
Finding Solutions
The solution often lies when the most basic questions have been answered, or at the very least when you begin to run out of simplifying questions. Is the earth flat? No, but if it spun fast enough it might. Would we be here to see it? Probably not.
Taking Action
Great you think you have found the solution, but is it implementable? A solution with no action is just another problem left to be solved.
