Big Picture Thinking…

We all need to have a view internally and externally of an organisation to gauge new opportunities and threats from competitors.

On a nugget workshop we conduct an exercise called “Being Savvy” the idea being that you can understand where areas of growth might be and how to communicate to your team.

There are three areas of being “Savvy” and when they connect – you have your eyes wide open.

See the diagram below:-

The delegates fill each of the circles – e.g.:-

Organisationally savvy
- Understand all internal policies
- Know the right people within the company who make this happen
- As an individual match the culture of the organisation
- Embody the values and therefore are a really good role model
Business savvy
- Know the results and revenue details of the company
- Aware of main competitors
- Clear view of everyones objectives
- Sponsors new product and services
Contextually savvy
- Aware of the impact of new legislation
- Understand the political landscape and the effect on the company
- World events awareness to ensure that the organisation supports or champions the right causes
- UK culture, society trends that may impact the business

This is a good start to get your employees adopting “Big Picture Thinking” – there is a world out there so we need to understand the impact on us inside and outside.
