Strategic Thinking; tools to help leaders develop into critical strategic thinkers

Strategic thinking and strategic planning are a critical part of a senior leader's success.

This video gives an overview of two important elements of any organization's strategic plan; Strategy Map and Balanced Scorecard.

Drs. Robert Kaplan and David Norton pioneered the work of Balanced Scorecards in the late 1990s and in 2004 they advanced their thinking with their new book, Strategy Maps.

How can leaders understand these tools and use them to successfully formulate and articulate the strategy to achieve the greatest chance of successful execution?
