Strategic thinking for board directors

MANILA, Philippines — In today’s fast-paced and dynamic business environment, the ability to think strategically is no longer an option; it’s a fundamental skill that empowers leaders to steer their organizations with foresight, resilience and adaptability. Leaders who excel in strategic thinking not only navigate challenges more effectively but also capitalize on opportunities for growth and innovation.

To help emerging leaders and members of the board excel, the Center for Global Best Practices will host an SEC-accredited training titled, Strategic Thinking for Board Directors and Leaders, on Friday, Nov. 17, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. via Zoom.

This training program will equip attendees with the optimal knowledge, competencies, tools, and mindset needed to move, pivot and scale their organizations to growth and success. It will focus on creating an understanding of what exactly is strategic thinking, why it is important to all decision makers, and how to develop your strategic thinking competencies. This training aims to share insights into how board members can review and assess how effective your management are thinking strategically and how to best provide constructive feedback to executives regarding this important issue. This world-class training will cover the definitions, contrasting strategic thinking with critical thinking, reviewing strategic thinking processes, and the value that can be created through strategic thinking. Different kinds of leadership styles and organizational cultures that support and promote strategic thinking will also be discussed.

This three-hour webinar will feature CGBP’s US-based master trainer, Phillip Ash, who was the training director at the Asian Development Bank (ADB). He led the leadership training programs at the ADB and created its online learning program that provided training and development services that grew to more than 40 online and blended courses. While serving as an advisor to the director-general for finance and human resources for four years until May 2013, he also led the realignment efforts that transformed ADB’s functional approach toward HR to a more strategic focus.
