Key Ideas to Take With You
Strategy isn’t just “planning,” it is a way of thinking about your goals and the world around you
Strategic thinking helps you make day-t0-day choices that create the most value for your communities
A lens for analyzing the world you work in helps you see opportunities and challenges more clearly
Substitutes and complements are often overlooked in planning and decision-making
How we define our world makes a big difference – our audiences are here in Oman but also around the region and the world
