A Systems View Toolkit for Responsible Strategic Thinking

This chapter introduces a systems-based approach to strategic thinking, offering a toolkit for responsible decision-making in both business and society. It emphasises the role of the strategic thinker not only as an individual within a system but also as part of an organisation and society at large. Drawing from earlier chapters, it incorporates guides on dealing with political, economic, social, technological, legal, and environmental factors to help shape more holistic thinking. The toolkit outlines key activities and critical questions for responsible strategic thinkers to consider when formulating and implementing strategies. Strategic thinkers, positioned at the heart of society, have the potential to influence larger societal change by making thoughtful decisions that could lead to a more equitable and sustainable future.
