How To Be Strategic

In the first of a series of "How To" episodes, Lucinda examines the ways in which we can be more strategic in our thinking by focussing upon the long term gains ahead, and effectively identifying your organisation's goals. KEY TAKEAWAYS Strategic thinking is about thinking long term - planning ahead instead of thinking about the short term. We need to find the balance between effective planning for the future, and dealing with operational issues from day to day. Look to understand the long term goals and strategies for your organisation, what challenges or obstacles need to be addressed, and be aware of the external environment. There are solutions that are not necessarily blunt ones, and it is our responsibility as HR professionals to come up with more creative strategies that are in everyone's interest. BEST MOMENTS 'I believe that it's about the way we present ourselves' 'You must understand your own business or organisation right now, and into the future' 'How can we be transparent and supportive?' 'It's about showing your broader, more strategic understanding of the business' VALUABLE RESOURCES The HR Uprising Podcast | Apple | Spotify | Stitcher   The HR Uprising LinkedIn Group How to Prioritise Self-Care (The HR Uprising) How To Be A Change Superhero - by Lucinda Carney HR Uprising Mastermind - https://hruprising.com/mastermind/   www.changesuperhero.com www.hruprising.com          ABOUT THE HOST Lucinda Carney is a Business Psychologist with 15 years in Senior Corporate L&D roles and a further 10 as CEO of Actus Software where she worked closely with HR colleagues helping them to solve the same challenges across a huge range of industries.
