A lack of curiosity can cost your organization millions in lost revenue, talent, ideas, opportunities, and preventable errors. Strategic Curiosity® can help!
What is Strategic Curiosity®?
Strategic Curiosity® empowers you to lead with wisdom, agility, and creativity. Why?Research shows that curiosity primes the brain for learning and optimal performance. But not all curiosity is equally valuable; it must be strategic.
Strategic Curiosity® is a process of systematic search and inquiry that creates value by strengthening your capacity to pay attention, expand your perspective, and exercise discernment to navigate volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous (VUCA) situations. To do this, Strategic Curiosity® helps you identify and conquer unproductive routines, unconscious habits, and rigid work cultures that undermine performance by mastering 7 mental habits that fortify business frameworks and your behavior.
This advanced MBA-level education offers transformational learning via 6 customizable modules (below). Each module cultivates knowledge, habits and skills that improve business outcomes. You will be equipped to: Ascend, Lead Change, Collaborate, Manage, Innovate, and Strategize.
