A lack of curiosity can cost your organization millions in lost revenue, talent, ideas, opportunities, and preventable errors.
What is Strategic Curiosity®?
Research shows that curiosity creates value by priming the brain to learn, reflect, and respond with agility and wisdom. But not all curiosity is equally valuable; it must be strategic. Strategic Curiosity® is a framework for disciplined exploration that helps leaders achieve important goals. Dr. Myers created Strategic Curiosity® to address surprising findings in her hospital study
​
Strategic Curiosity® helps highly accomplished, experienced leaders transcend the constraints of organizational culture, professional routines, unconscious decisions, and "lazy thinking" to create more value. You'll gain skills to effectively navigate volatile, uncertain, complex and ambiguous circumstances (VUCA), by taking reflective action.
