Fortunately, thinking strategically is a skill that can be learned and taught. There is a great deal written about strategy, and so a clarification of what we mean when we use the term is in order. Strategy is simply the framework of choices we make that will determine our future. It is the vision we hold for our business, in action.
To develop this strategic mindset in our business, we must know four extremely important things and be continually learning as much as we can about them.
