The Power of
Being Strategic
For a focused and productive team
What does 2025 have in store for your team?
Do you find that your team is often scrambling to keep up? What if you could spot challenges and opportunities early, plan a course of action, and align your collective efforts in response?
Strategic awareness is an essential skill for leadership teams and boards, but it’s also valuable for anyone with decision-making responsibilities. Yet, the demands of day-to-day work mean we don’t spend enough time on strategic thinking. Without this awareness, teams can miss emerging threats and opportunities, finding themselves in a constant cycle of reaction.
Improving Strategic Awareness
The Power of Being Strategic workshop allows individuals and teams to lift their gaze, make sense of the bigger picture, and refocus their actions. It teaches the skills futurists use to make sense of the future, and then gets teams working together to identify, understand, and prioritise the trends that are impacting their work.
Why This Workshop?
More than just team building, The Power of Being Strategic Workshop is focused on shared understanding and commitment building. It provides the opportunity for boards, leaders and teams to sharpen their future focus and align short term objectives with long term strategies. In addition, participants will develop transferable strategic foresight skills that allow them to spot trends, risks, and opportunities on an ongoing basis.
Whether you’re thinking 12 months ahead or mapping out the next 30 years, this workshop equips your team to break free from reactivity and build a collective, future-focused mindset.

Why Start Now?
If you’re looking for an opportunity to re-engage your team after the festive break this is a great place to start. The new year offers a natural opportunity to reset and refocus, making it the perfect time to engage in proactive thinking. This workshop is also an excellent addition to annual strategy off-sites, retreats, and planning sessions, adding a powerful layer of insight into both present and future needs.
