Engineers and engineering professionals can use strategic thinking and communication to hone in on the skills that allow them to work through unknown situations and ensure long-term personal and professional success. Strategic thinkers can distinguish between causation and correlation, emotion and intellect. They can apply proven methods to evaluate risk and determine the best choice for action.
In this course you will be presented with both standard tools (e.g., SWOT) and innovative approaches to help develop your strategic mindset.
