1 Assess Trends

By identifying these patterns early, you can anticipate potential impacts on your business. Strategic thinking means not just reacting to trends, but analyzing them to predict future shifts.

In my experience assimilating meaningful trends from all the noise is an expert job and would require dedicated effort and credible sources. You can look at having 1-2 members in your core team always working on gathering these trends. Work with outside experts, consulting firms and industry bodies to assimilate the trends on a larger scale. Once the funnel input is sufficiently varied then start filtering down to reach the insights you are looking for basis your industry. Remember you dont need more data on the same trend but you need varied trends to start with and as you go deeper building the insights then start moving towards more data for the same trend to reconfirm.

2 SWOT Analysis

A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis is a strategic tool that helps you take stock of your business's position. By evaluating internal strengths and weaknesses, you can leverage what you do well and improve where you're lacking. Identifying external opportunities and threats enables you to anticipate market changes and adapt your strategy accordingly. This analysis is critical for strategic thinking as it provides a clear framework for decision-making, ensuring that your business strategy is robust and responsive.

Typically business perform a SWOT analysis as a time bound activity with in frequent updates. Use a SWOT analysis as a strategic board and keep it updated similar to balanced scorecards. For strategy office teams, this is critical since macro environments and your industry env is always changing and SWOT should always be updated. I suggest a quarterly review to begin with and as you go more agile you can change the frequency.

3 Scenario Planning

Scenario planning involves creating detailed narratives about the future based on different assumptions about how current trends could evolve. This method allows you to test your strategy against various potential futures. By considering multiple scenarios, you can develop contingency plans that prepare your business for different market conditions. Strategic thinking is about being prepared for the unexpected, and scenario planning is an essential tool for building that preparedness into your business strategy.

This is the step most prone to conformation bias and HIPPO bias (Highest paid person opinion bias). Think of Scenario planning on a multi dimensional spectrum and build scenarios basis that. One good way is to start from extremes - Best case scenarios and Absolute worst case scenarios. However in my experience i have seen teams struggling with defining the best and worst case in true sense. For e.g. If the strategic exercise is about launching a new product or changing org structure the extremes have to be defined basis multi dimensions. Typical dimensions include People, Process, Technology, External environment, Regulations, Business competition, Adjacent industry effects, Network Effects etc.

The Agile Approach is about moving in sprints and within each sprint you will have some product to offer to the market to gather feedback. You very quickly create not perfect, but working products or features (MVP), gather feedback and improve them. This approach works much better than taking a very long time and a very large amount of resources to build a perfect product that may not fit the market and when faced with the real needs of the consumer simply turn out to be useless. Therefore, within the Agile approach, we divide the creation of products into sprints and try to release something into the market every sprint in order to get feedback from the user.

5 Continuous Learning

This ongoing education informs your strategic decisions and keeps your business relevant. Whether through formal training, networking, or staying abreast of industry news, investing in knowledge is investing in the future of your business.

Building a culture of learning within your org is important. Many strategy offices start out with passion and enthusiasm on this front but over a period of time without dedication, leadership support and continuous culture change the culture of learning is hard to build. What you dont want is the learning to be confined in the ivory tower of CSO office while the larger organization is focussed only on keeping the lights on. Build a continuous learning plan for your organization across levels and execute ruthlessly on it.

Collaboration as a super power is the need of the hour. One super tool which startups have is the ability to collaborate faster, better and stronger across customers, partners and sometimes competitors as well. For Large organizations building a collaboration mindset requires shift towards empowering individual teams, middle management to be able to take these decisions and go forward. Removing hindrances of processes and clear guidelines from risk and confidentiality will help going a long way in building a culture of collaboration
