Strategic thinking
Origin: Lat. strategĭa, studĭum
The obvious precursor to any strategy development or planning session. It begins with the exploration of the environment, an intuitive, visual, creative process that results in a synthesis of emerging themes, issues, patterns, connections, and opportunities. It has two major components: insight about the present and foresight about the future.
Spanish: Pensamiento estratégico
