This Strategic Thinking workshop addresses all the issues of strategy and provides a clear direction and mode of thinking that everyone can apply to the situations they face every day. We call it SOCcerR.

Strategy isn’t a game and yet there are links between the game and business strategy. We use these links to enable participants to understand, remember, and apply a strategic thinking method when facing business decisions.

 

SOCCER stands for:

 S = Situation (or setting); O = Obstacles and/or Opportunities; C = the Challenge; c = creative alternatives; e = evaluating alternatives; R = Recommendation.
