What is it about?

Myth: Only CEOs, Chief Strategy Officers, and senior leaders need to be big-picture thinkers.

Truth: Big picture thinking is not limited to leadership roles. It is a mindset that can be cultivated by anyone, at any level of management.

This workshop focuses on developing big picture thinking as a mindset that fundamentally transforms how you approach your role. Think of it as zooming out—from a street view to a Google Earth perspective—to see the broader context, anticipate obstacles, and find better solutions. This way of thinking equips you to navigate an ever-changing landscape with confidence and creativity.

At its core, big picture thinking involves examining situations with curiosity, objectivity, and a far-reaching lens. This workshop will help you embrace this mindset, enabling you to make more strategic decisions and drive meaningful outcomes in your day-to-day role.

What will it cover?

By the end of the session, you will:

  • Understand the skills, mindsets, and behaviours of a big-picture thinker and how they apply to every role.
  • Identify biases that distort your thinking and learn to value diverse perspectives.

  • Develop practical big picture thinking skills that lead to better outcomes.
  • Apply tools and techniques to think and act more strategically on a daily basis.
