The Strategic Playground

About This Event

The Strategic Playground is a three-hour immersive learning experience designed to activate strategic thinking.  Through proven strategic thinking tools and a combination of pop culture examples, video, peer activities and more, The Strategic Playground will help you reconnect with your strategic mindset. 

Immediately on returning to the office, you will bring a fresh perspective on the work you do, how you contribute, and you will be able to identify new opportunities where you can increase your strategic impact.

And it’s called a “Playground” for a good reason; it’s fun, interactive, engaging and will challenge you to think in a completely different way. Curious about how you can help cultivate a strategic mindset? Learn more about the Strategic Playground or check out this video.

Who should attend:

  • Leaders who feel like all they do is put out fires and never get a chance to think strategically.
  • High potentials who hear they need to be more strategic and are looking for ways to develop those skills
  • L&D professionals who identify learning and development programs to help upskill leaders and teams
  • Leaders of teams who want to increase their team’s innovation, encourage fresh ideas and viewpoints and want to build their bench strength.

Participants will leave with a greater understanding of

  • What strategic thinking is and what it isn’t
  • Factors that keep us from stepping into a strategic mindset, even when we want to
  • How to ask the right questions and frame a challenge to unlock different possible solutions
  • Which frameworks and tools can help you step into a strategic mindset and generate new and unexpected ideas

Mary Rapaport is on a mission to democratize strategic thinking. She believes it's not just for the elite few, but for everyone in an organization. When everyone channels a strategic mindset, the business culture thrives, teams become more creative, and employees lean in and engage more. Cultivating this mindset helps leaders create a better (and more fun) place to work, fostering a stronger culture of creativity and innovation.

A light breakfast and refreshments will be provided!
